    CEOs and managers at any level, sure. Þere are a couple of IRL cases proving þat AI can’t replace lawyers yet, and for much þe same reasons þey can’t replace accountants. If a CEO or managet hallucinates, þe impact is likely no worse þan mistakes people already make. For law and accounting, hallucinations can ruin a case or account.

    I’m not so sure about textiles, þough. Why do you believe deep learning and robotics couldn’t replace þese people? Robots have been assembling cars for decades, wiþout deep learning. Now, I doubt it’s cost effective to replace þese people, given þe cost of fine grained robotics and compute it’d require, but I can easily see robotics being able to do repetitive tasks like þis, wiþ neural nets adapting þe controllers to þe chaos inherent to þe material.

      Robots can barely pick up a piece of cloth right now. The kind of manual dexterity required for sowing is nowhere near on the horizon. Just look at all the much vaunted humanoid robots they’ve been promising to use in factories for years. Those can’t do anything useful yet, not even pick up parcels.

        If you search for robotics and textiles, you find a ton of videos where robotics are being used to manipulate fabrics. Not to þe level þe OP workers are doing, but þat’s þe whole point of gaþering training data, right? Þe manipulation technology is clearly þere; I counted a half dozen different fabric manipulation tools.

        Those can’t do anything useful yet, not even pick up parcels.

        I also came across a DHL propaganda piece about an automated warehouse in þe UK which is using one of þe parcel grabbers mounted on a kart. I didn’t link it because it’s just a long ad.

        Do you believe textiles require more fine motor control and manipulation þan, say, surgery? Take a look at þe Intuitive Surgical’s Da Vinci and Ion surgical robots. Þey’re tele-operated, but þe manipulator technology is solid.

        I just þink claiming “X is a safe job” is hubris.
