I still think that all jobs are, in general, safe for the foreseeable future. But we will be expected to use AI tools and just produce more and more, so that a few people will gain more and more resources and power.

E.g. as engineers we will do less and less actual planning, but we will run AIs like it were a team of engineer slaves.

And I think this will be similar for other branches. A music composer will run AIs to compose parts of a song, adjust it, readjust other parts, till the song is good. I mean, afaik this is already how much of it works.

Am I supposed to read this as simultaneous (those jobs are currently safe.... for now, the others are not) or progressive (all these jobs are human/skilled and halfway they get replaced by robots)..?

I suppose either way it's commenting that you can't take your position for granted. AI isn't coming to replace you, but it is going to evolve your field, and workers that don't adapt will be supplanted by those that do.

Teachers, drivers, and lawyers are all very replaceable by AI. And, with some investment in automation, so are cooks.

I assume you, teaching as the profession that we have today is not at all safe.

As a barkeeper, I still feel very safe.
