PEOPLE skills. Customer service. Sales. Software and hardware maintenance.

Do you really believe a cashier is so specialized that if someone where to lose that job they would never work again for the rest of their lives?

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

Are cashiers and other low skill workers learning how to program the machines replacing them? Any evidence for that?

My answer to that is no. Now please stop stalling and provide the evidence to support your claims.

Google will provide you with all the evidence you need. But here is one example:

Also, your answer to my question should be all the "evidence" you need.

This is going to be bad folks..

Your average human worker can no longer compete against your top of the line robot.

Of course your top notch technologist can still compete, but that's a tiny fraction of the population.

They'll be high paid technologist jobs, low paid middle skill jobs, and no in between jobs.

Its a good thing.

Less mindless manual labor for all humans and more jobs utilizing the brain. That's ultimately what we want for the world.
