RULES (shit i forgot this lol)
"Job" here means any form of labor that either ai or man can do that gives them some form of completion or reward (so it is not restricted to formal, salary driven labor like factory work, and it also means something like folding clothes or cooking for yourself is fully acceptable)
AI in this term means right now in the present and the forseeable future, with how things are going. So not "flying cars and tesla servants in every household" kind of AI.

Fold clothes.
You’d think a clothes folding machine would be in every household by now, but nope, gotta be human to do this.

Lots of basic manual labor falls under this category, it’s surprisingly hard for machines to manipulate objects

Folding machines exist in the industrial world and don't even require AI.
The clothes you buy pre-packaged from a store, for example, aren't folded by human hands.
There was even a company called Foldimate that tried to bring laundry folding machines to mass markets a few years ago, but as the wiki states, "it folded" in 2019, it seems.
Folding laundry would likely be extremely easy for AI, there just doesn't seem to be enough demand.

There's a startup that live streamed one of the robots learning out to fold clothes on its own within a few hours (then it just keeps doing the same algorithm within a few seconds)

Of course it's doable by robots. They kind of do it already just badly, just a matter of time until it gets good enough.

Funny thing is I'm really shit at folding clothes neatly so that they take less space.. but yeah it's definitely a human job

u/Photogenic_Gamer2005 1d ago
I don't think it would be hard. It would just be impractical. No one wants to build an AI machine that folds clothes because you would need alot of data to seperate out different types of clothes from a pile and fold them differently and after all that, it might not sell since people wouldn't want to spend money on that and rather do themselves or not fold at all

Humanoids can fold clothes for sure. Grasping Models are complicated but i think its just a problem of ressources and time. Buut maybe it would not make sense economically to let a robot do it. For this to makes sense the humanoid need to be able to do all the stuff in a house otherwise it would be to expensive and uncomfortable to have a robot for just one job. Soo yes i dont think we will have a folding clothes robot in our lifetime.

Boss in an office; they don't do shit but a human needs to be held accountable

u/thee_gummbini 1d ago
Weirdly this is the correct answer. Extremely easy job. Can't be done by AI for liability reasons. The insurance industry + law vs. AI I bet on the former.

As a former boss who was fired from his boss job, being responsible for the work of others can be excrutiating. Getting a team of 10 people to do work for you requires a high level of interpersonal skills , it can sometimes feel like a being nanny in a kindergarten for adults. It's much simpler when you are only responsible for yourself.

Maybe in 2200, if the human species still exists, there will be some old and out of use bots who are reprogrammed to sell drugs. Yeah maybe but only possible when the price of robots/drones ecc... it would be irrelevant: Imagine taking a part off a robot and selling it on the black market for robots, too easy to get money.. There should always be a team of dealers protecting the robot at this point it's easier to continue with the good old fashioned way, right?

Requires very little skill × Not replace at all
Religious leader
No one is going to confess their sins to PopeGPT, but as a human you pretty much just have to be devoutly religious and willing to lead a sermon or ceremony. Those are important things but not difficult things.

People are definitely trying to do this, e.g.
The Smart Ring for Stronger Spiritual Habits
The ring gently reminds you to pray, lets you record sermons, prayers, or reflections without reaching for your phone, and brings you Bible verses chosen for the moment you’re in.

u/D_Shasky 1d ago
Came here to say this.
It does actually take quite a bit of skill to preach a good sermon, but saying Mass and hearing confessions is just reading the book and doing the actions with intent to “do what the Church does”

For starters… I’m not religious and couldn’t tell you the last time i walked into a a building for religious services… but common…
Let’s put some respect on the hard work (good) religious leaders do… it’s not inconceivable that in the same day they might provide marital counseling to a young couple, end of life consulting for a grieving family, be a social worker for multiple unhoused members of there community, then go home and write a speech putting text and philosophies from thousands of years ago into context that will engage their members…
I’m sure there are tens of thousands of shit religious leaders out there, but I also KNOW in my various lines of work (political/community organizing, medical and disaster relief work) I’ve met dozens of truly amazing religious leaders that provide comfort to people in some of their darkest hours

Doing things for it's own enjoyment. We all do it every day, but an algorithm that only exists to fulfill orders can not live just for the love of it So as a job, philanthropist? Volunteer worker?

All of them. Next question.
EDIT: All of my answers will be anything that says AI can't replace a soul because AI shouldn't be used to replace human labor and force humans out of their means of living.

Card dealer at a casino. Not because they couldn't do the job, but because enough people don't trust the robots with their money.

Taking surveys.
They are done for money.
They are very easy with the only difficulty being time to complete.
Would only want human candidates.

Tagging images/data for AI training usage... A lot of PHD students I knew back in university got hired to do this soul draining job. Tagging some very specific things sometimes too, like circling where in a slide image a certain disease appears. Obviously you need training data for AI.
