The disappearance of certain jobs due to technology isn't new to the history of the job market. With every major wave of innovation, entire professions have declined or vanished, replaced by new roles more suited to the era. For example, the invention of electricity ended the need for jobs like lamplighters and night watchmen, while computers eliminated manual data entry, telephone switchboard operators, and file clerks. Today, it seems Artificial Intelligence is ready to write a new chapter in this transformation, but this time, it's targeting the heart of office and professional jobs.
