Raw LLM Responses

I feel like the worst advice young people are getting in 2026 is to get into trades like it’s some holy Grail career that’s gonna be safe from the ongoing artificial intelligence and robotic revolutions that are happening in our labour markets. Logically, do you really think in 2026 when we’ve got robots that can cook meals and run factories and guard buildings and go to war that they’re not gonna come up with a robot that can lay some pipe or build a frame, or lay wires? trades are just simple tasks performed repetitively, the skill comes in knowing how to adapt them to each situation, but just like with software development its only going to take 1 skilled carpenter to tell the robot where to hammer. The reason why trades jobs pay so well is because they’re hard on your body and they’re often dangerous. These are the type of jobs that you want to replace with robots, so to think that AI and robots aren’t coming for those jobs is very naïve.
