Humans Need Not Apply

[helios]

It's just a matter of looking around and observing obstacles.

So can we also say that programming computers is just staring at screens and pushing buttons?
Generally describing what the robot should do and actually making it behave reasonably are two very different things. Remember, autopilots have been in development for much longer, and they still need human supervision. And autopilots don't run in streets they share with a heterogeneous selection of vehicles and various kinds of hazards.

Yeah but how many jobs actually require that human element? Nurses/doctors are a good example. So is law enforcement and software development. But apart from that I struggle to think of anything else.

Politics, emergency services, aircraft pilots, all manner of engineering, anything that involves fixing something not in a particular location (e.g. plumbing, electrical repairs, phone repairs, etc.), business management (you can't very well automate, say, defining the point of a company, can you?).
And despite what the video might suggest, true automated creativity is an AI-hard problem, particularly if you want to constrain or in some way direct that creativity.

EDIT: Also, modeling, performance arts, and the sex industry.
