 What is one job that you think won’t be replaced by robots in the future and why?

 

 

☆Let’s Think

1.        Paraphrase the points of Janet and Thomas.

2.        What jobs have already been replaced by machines and AI?

Notes:

-        Many of factory workers, couriers, cashiers, receptionists, telemarketers, bank tellers and clerks, and bookkeeping clerks have already been replaced by machines.

-        It is said that machines will not totally take over humans in work places but rather support humans by doing repetitive tasks.

 

3.        Sort out the occupations in the box into the following categories, creatives jobs and jobs that require human touch. If you think of other categories, add them for classification.

 

A: Creative jobs

 

B: Jobs that require human touch

 

 

occupations to make AI such as coders, architects, engineers, researchers, artists (i.e. musicians, actors, film makers, etc.) athletes, news anchors, satirists or comedians, TV personalities, writers, detectives, judges, soldiers, first responders (i.e. firefighters, police officers, and paramedics), zoo attendants, traders, tour guides, social workers, politicians, social media influences, language instructors, yoga instructors, essential workers (i.e. healthcare staff, farmers, restaurant workers, construction workers, teachers, etc.)

 

 

☆Response for Ideas and Expressions

In accordance with the opinion of Thomas that robots cannot do the jobs of creators that require high level of emotional insights, I believe artists won’t be replaced by AI. Fine art is the area that takes care of human heart as well, and AI always fails to make a moving picture, except by accident. Pictures that AI produces are just a combination of existing information of works related to the given theme. For example, AI would be able to copy works of Vincent van Gogh or produce works that look like a van Gogh. However, they won’t be able to reproduce his anxiety or longing in a new piece because an AI doesn’t have a suffering soul that van Gogh had. It has no spirit at all. Neither does it have a hand or eyes wired to the brain where the suffering and joy of life occurs. For the same reason, it won’t be able to make humans laugh with humor except for unintended ones. It cannot have empathy or mercy, nor can it have dream or vision. It has no concern, insight, or inspiration, either. It has no passion. It cannot love even a puppy. Not a bit of mind shared by life exist in it. Thus, it cannot make a masterpiece that truly impress us. Unless humans lose spirit, heart, or mind, AI artists won’t be able to fool us. At best, it would be a tool for inspiration whose random results we may find interest in just like photographs inspired some artists in Paris in the 19^th century to start the school of painting called the impressionism.
