So, prostitution? Bartender? There are still jobs now that require human interaction, but unless interacting with another human is the job itself, then, yes, those jobs are going. McDonalds already has kiosks for ordering. Yo Sushi has beer taps at your table. Young men are walking around having relationships with cute anime girls who listen and validate them (and how are they ever going to deal with an actual human female who has her own needs??). Others on HN are saying AI isn't good enough for this or that, but have you ever tried dealing with a real person in a call center, or a minimum wage employee at the job center, or a sales person at a cheap cosmetics counter. So sure, there are jobs at Chanel, or Audi, or Michelin starred restaurants, for the rich who can not only afford such luxury but enjoy lauding it over the rest of us, but for the rest of us there's Johnny Cab if we even have any way of paying for a ride in one.
