I recently came across a very interesting industry analysis that was quite eye-opening.

A research organization has summarized the impact of AI technology on various industries and listed the top 40 occupations most threatened. The data shows that the risk of AI replacement varies greatly across different fields.

At the top of the list are interpreters and historians, with AI applicability scores close to the maximum of 1.00. It makes sense—language models are already quite capable in text processing and information integration, making these two fields a "high-risk zone."

Further down, customer service representatives, advertising creatives, and content writers also face high threat levels. These positions share common traits of repetitive tasks and high standardization, which are exactly the areas where AI currently excels. Improving efficiency is one thing; shrinking job opportunities is another.

Therefore, the choices facing industry practitioners are quite clear—either upgrade their professional barriers or learn to collaborate with AI instead of being replaced. This wave of industry transformation might very well rewrite many people's career plans.

Historians are about to become unemployed? You need to hear that the other way around. The true value lies in—who can produce things that AI cannot generate.

Haha, the interpreter gets a perfect score. Now I really have to learn machine translation, or how else to make a living.

Interpreters and historians directly exchanging New Year greetings, language models are indeed quite powerful. With AI here, no one can really relax anymore; maybe one day they'll just be optimized out. Efficiency improvements sound glamorous, but in reality, they are just lowering demand. Instead of waiting to be replaced, it's better to start building skill barriers now. Content writers are the most unfortunate in this wave; standardized tasks are really easy for AI to handle. Collaboration rather than confrontation, sounds easy to say, but actually doing it is really difficult. With this wave of change, career planning needs to be completely reevaluated.

The interpreter is done for; there's really no way out of this one.

There's an issue with this data. Scoring 1.00 is a perfect score? Why not check the on-chain data? Which jobs that AI can truly replace are the most profitable?

Interpreters are just done; these data won't deceive... The AI job-stealing thing is really not an alarmist warning anymore. Content writers are crying and fainting; high standardization is the original sin. To put it plainly, there needs to be some barriers to survive; purely repetitive work is really goodbye. Collaboration rather than replacement, it sounds simple but is difficult to do, brother. Under this wave, there's nowhere to get off.

Wow, the interpreter got a perfect score directly. My goodness, I'm really going to be unemployed now. AI replacement has been talked about for so long, and now there's actually data to support it. It's a bit terrifying. Content writers? Ha, I think our industry has long been cheap, being pressed down and rubbed by AI is only a matter of time. The key is that these professions are highly repetitive. We should have seen this clearly a long time ago. No wonder everyone is now focusing on professional barriers. Instead of waiting to die, it's better to learn to work with AI. Anyway, lying flat won't change much. Now every industry has to reposition itself. Without upgrading, you'll really be eliminated. Historians also have no future? That's an unexpected one, but it makes sense when you think about it. Interestingly, everyone is now betting that they can upgrade faster than AI's iteration speed. That bet is pretty fierce. I really didn't expect interpreters to rank so high. It seems I need to start thinking about how to coexist with machines from now on, or else I'll really be left behind by the times.
