Well this isn’t quite true, automation and computers have replaced many jobs. They just haven’t been skilled labour.

Now AI is catching up with skilled labour, whether it’s CNNs for loss prevention, LSTM/1DCNN for anomaly detection in Time Series (e.g. biosignal, finance) or more recently llms explaining and adapting code.

In one way or another, that work, at least in part, would have been done by a person, even if it’s an intern for example.

They just haven’t been skilled labour.

That's where the majority of jobs are that computers and automation "took".

Large companies needed hundreds of accountants to do what a dozen can do now. Same goes for developers. Or biologists. Or architects. Or whatever else.
