Don’t see any reason why we couldn’t have maintainence and repair robots as well, so what manufacturing employees?

There will, for all of the foreseeable future, be a human element in every manufacturing or farming process.

Exactly, and it shouldn’t be hard to find someone willing to do that job for 3 days a week.

Sure but they’re not gonna want to do it as a salaried employee, because the random overtime required will be more valuable.

That really depends on weather we can create AGI or not. Might come sonner than you think.

If we invent AGI all bets are off for everything though. That’s a discovery on par with fire or the wheel.
