Going through this list I question whether Microsoft Research has an experiential understanding of how the world works or how people work. Personally, I would say 15 to 20 jobs on their list are going to be significantly impacted (not "destroyed") by AI.

techpineapple · 1d ago

A lot of these are like customer service, service salespeople? And my experience the tru value those folks provide is not answering questions that could be answered by the documentation, it’s navigating the poorly worn paths.

>CNC Tool Programmers

Nah. Those cnc machines are still running win95 and 98.

>Political Scientists

Nah, will need to study ai impacts independently of ai.

>Data Scientists

soon to just be ai scientists.

>Web Developers

web devs will be using ai is all.

The rest of this list... yep goners.
