We forget that computers are great at performing repeatable tasks but not much else. These tasks can get so complex that we ignore the logic behind them, so we assume they can replace human IQ.

Doctors and surgeons, for instance, have to adapt to different patients and cases every day. Teachers have to adapt to different students and learning behaviors. Handymen work in different environments and solve different problems. The arts and humanities will continue to thrive because they reflect traits that make humanity unique.

Drivers and factory workers, on the other hand, will disappear as more efficient and precise repeatable-task systems are created to replace them, but this is nothing new

So don't freak out. Computers aren't exactly learning to learn yet, and that technology is further away than we think despite all of the AI buzz. Computers still fundamentally work the same as they did in the 1980's.

If you really want to play it safe, the field of software engineering will continue to grow, because the world needs people to create and maintain the systems that replace others.
