I'll throw my own low-stress money maker in the ring: Bra-fitting. In addition to the emotional intimacy that's a necessary part of the job, there are aspects of it that would be hard to replicate with LLMs/AI in general because it's a process that involves gathering a lot of tactile information and assimilating it to inform your decisions. Knowing how dense and malleable someone's breast tissue is informs the fitting process a lot and doing it well requires not only accurate assessments but also a sense of how breasts feel. Literally.

Related to that, deafblind and deaf interpretation.

I'd say many trades won't be replaced by AI anytime soon. Electrician, plumber, carpenter, interior decorator, gardener, etc... the environments the work takes place in is just too difficult to automate right now.

They'll eventually become obsolete in a century or so (maybe a few decades based on how fast things move?), but it won't be prompts and computer learning that replace them. It'll be significant advances in robotics and general purpose AI (scenario 1), or a major rethink of how the affected systems are structured (scenario 2).

There will be 3 jobs in the future:

1. Engineers (building tech)

2. Technicians (running the tech and troubleshooting, providing a human interface)

3. Capital Owner/Manager

Nursing will be the 2nd job and it will be devalued, they will prompt an AI for things like diagnoses and they will supply it with data.
