I was just reminded of this recent article

"Top 10 Jobs Facing The Highest AI Disruption

1- Interpreters and Translators
2- Historians
3- Passenger Attendants
4- Sales Representatives of Services
5- Writers and Authors"

I didn't become a writer because it was not a safe job. I didn't expect this either.
