80% of IT Jobs Can Be Replaced by Automation, and It's 'Exciting'

Without details, it just sounds like some bullshit made up number

I think 80% sounds about right.

First level will be at least 80% automated in the next ten years. Than it will probably go down from there. MAybe 60% second level and than 30 or 40% third level support.

I'm unclear on whether, in the this-is-why-you-care section, talking about how "[i]t is important for policy makers" to do something makes it political. I cannot imagine any more explicitly political language, but I do not imagine the article will cause a flame war. I've flagged anyway.

I have the feeling the 20% survivors - especially C-level peeps -- will feel rather empty knowing they can't torture their new AI employees with meetings and other forms of corporate suckage.

Human population multiplies while available jobs divide. No one seems to be thinking of the human toll of automation across all the various industries.

The only worrying outcomes to me are 1. drop in production (unlikely) or 2. increase in inequality (actually scares me). The second one is worrying but should be eventually solvable.

The keyword here is "can".

Layer upon layer of shit - sounds like job security.
