Saw this link on a friend’s Twitter feed about what parts of various jobs can be automated.

This is somewhat close to what I expected as I have very intentionally attempted to move myself into areas of my career focus that are difficult to mechanize. However, I think this actually underestimates (as is the tendency) the activities in my vocation which can be somewhat-easily automated. From my experience, about 15 out of the 39 tasks (as opposed to 9) in the linked page that I routinely undertake can be done by bots now or in the near future.

As I noted, I’ve deliberately positioned myself into areas that aren’t as amenable to robot invasion. It’s important to point out that this option is not available to most people for various reasons of abilities and cultural and socioeconomic position.

I expect it similarly underestimates the automatability of other fields too, by the way — of the others I checked, some areas that I know are already being automated are listed as “No.” All such guides are imperfect, though — not canonical truth. Nor do they have to be to be interesting.
