What jobs are going to be taken by robots?

Sort of a fun, interactive page projecting which jobs will displaced by machines.

Small selection of jobs, but I entered as many appropriate jobs from my adult life as I could and all were under 10% chance of automation.

I've spent most of my life as an editor and that one was 3.x%

[BoL]

48% chance for a programmer. Won't be so bad if I own the robot.

but they don't list SEO.

Frankly, SEO narrowly conceived is 99.9% to be replaced by robots. I would argue that SEO as it was known say 10-12 years ago pretty much has been replaced by robots.

SEO as a broad-based marketing campaign is different. That I don't see getting replaced any time soon.

There's no argument on that point at all. The robots are simply flesh covered automatons masquerading as cuntent marketers.

and as an addendum, if BoL's and my project does as we hope and believe, the rest can be automated too

FTFY: A hospital in Singapore is now using robotics to bring down pharmacy waiting times while easing loads on pharmacists on the one or two pharmacists kept after the round of lay-offs by automating 80% of medication dispensing.

"easing loads" sounds nice, though. Great spin.

If they look like this then I'm 100% up for robots talking over our jobs.

My gym just put in a massage bed that is suppose to give a good massage on its own somehow.  I haven't tried it.

I couldn't.... but I used drag and drop and dropped into Google, which took me to IMDB for Mallory Jensen which tells me this is Aida, " an artificial intelligence given life and physical form by scientist Holden Radcliffe"

Which is sort of interesting... I guess photographic curator is another job soon to disappear?
