    No AI is ever going to replace what I do. I salvage aircraft and motorcycles. Zero worry there.

      The AI can be added to a robot that can salvage aircraft and motorcycles. It would be far cheaper to employ than a human as well.

        lol no. Far far off before a robot could do what we do. The dexterity required to remove a bolt from inside a wing, or even a rusty bolt on a motorcycle, or disassemble an engine is far outside anything a robot can even come close to achieve. And everything is unique. Just not feasible in any way what so ever. Assembly is another story and yes a lot of automation can be achieved there, but that’s because it’s doing the same action over and over and very precise. Disassembly is way different, unique in every case. Extreme dexterity required. Often the stuff is crashed and bent up and requires very advanced knowledge of the exact unit being taken apart. Bolts strip out and break over time, things rust. A universal robot that do what’s needed would be insanely expensive. Not feasible at all.

          AI is not just a “universal robot”, it’s something that can have the entire database of every existing vehicle and aircraft uploaded into it to learn from, then given a robotic body (robotics are still advancing may I remind you, not as loudly as AI but certainly forward every day), it could do your job faster, better, more reliably, and cheaper in the long run, maybe you’ll even get the honour of fixing the mistakes it makes the first few weeks at your job to make it better, then you’ll become obsolete.

          Don’t laugh at folks who are having their jobs usurped by soulless code right now, sooner or later - it’ll happen to you.

            Not in my life time. The robotics just aren’t there, nor the understanding. Feel free to check back in 10 years, I’ll be doing the same thing.
