Technically speaking it's opposite than in the picture. The professions replaced by robots in the picture are in fact not replacable because they require emotional awareness. On the other hand professions in the picture that represent humans can be replaced by robots because they only require data.

Teachers and physicians do not require emotional awareness?

House has proven time and time again that bedside manners don't matter if you're right. 😌

Also that Vicodin addiction is mostly fine. Mostly.

This is a mistake that many people will make, and it will be decades before they realize what they've done.

I teach elementary school. While most of the things I'm accountable for on paper are academic, most of my actual time is spent helping my students understand how to be functional humans. Problem-solving skills. Interpersonal skills. Self-control. Empathy. Self-esteem. In early grades, motor skills like how to hold a pencil or use scissors.

When we put a whole generation of kids in computerized AI schools (because it's not really an "if" any more), we will see a huge effect in the real world, but probably not until after they graduate and have to start dealing with people in different work environments. And by then, we'll be totally screwed.

Of course, the 1% will still have their kids in real schools with real teachers, because they already know that the very products they tout to the masses are actually detrimental to child development.

It's because their parents need to go to work.
