I highly doubt that will happen during my lifetime.
I applaud your enthusiasm but stay vigilant, companies opting for AI are we less about "they can do my job better than me" and more just another tool to opress the working class.
I say this as someone who works in the film industry, who's job right out of college is currently being replaced by AI. Soon much more than you think could be replaced, will be too.
Well, luckily I'm self-employed and I believe that even if there was robots doing the kind of manual labor that I do there would still be enough people left who'd rather hire a human. Time will tell I guess.
Unlike VC "AGI tomorrow, promise" bullshit, mechanization is very old and working concept. Just how many barbers with old razor were replaced with one with hair clipping machine.
