AI will make obese people unemployable

For the last few decades, an obese man could make some money while sitting in a 800 lb capacity office chair, and typing out some code.

But AI will soon replace those office-chair type jobs, whether it's programmers, graphic designers, accountants, movie script writers, call center customer support reps, etc.

The jobs that will be harder for AI to replace will require either manual labor (like plumbers, welders, nurses) or in-person physical appearance (institutional sales).

Obese people will have to lose weight, or be turned into soylent green.

Nah, the jobs will remain, but pay will be reduced to a pittance. It's already happening.

But a clever obese man could probably setup AI agents to take many remote jobs at the same time.

hmmm

Looks like AI could make most Americans unemployable shrug

People keep saying this but you just fuse a robot like Optimus with AI and it can be a plumber or welder quite easily.

Eventually AI & robots will eliminate all jobs.

But I don't see Optimus being an effective plumber until further into the future.

On the other hand, AI is threatening desk jobs right now.

I don't think it's as far into the future as you think.  It's mainly just cost and return dependent.  Also maybe a little customer service dependent (imagine something like Robocop knocking on your door as your plumber! lol) I believe technically it can be done right now.
