I'm deeply moved
This... Almost looks like the op of this post used AI to translate and change the art style of this comic.
Replaced by AI: ~~traductor~~
Also modified the art style to make it less violent and subversive, so cross "artist" of that list as well.
With the original, we clearly understand that it should all have been filled with humans, but there was a progression in the center line where AI (killed and) replaced professions that were always thought to be irreplaceable by AI.

Seems the translated variant misses a big point of the original artist too, notice how the gun slowly comes into view? It's trying to make a point that the replacement isn't quite organic, but rather forced on us. Probably would have been better to just translate the text in place and include the rightful credit.
Ironic. The translator and artist were the first ones to be killed, and now we got this bastardized AI "translation" that's actually an entirely different image, but worse.
This is why so many were confused about "personal," I believe it's a popular borrowed term in Brazil that simply means personal trainer.
Not personnel, not HR, not personal assistant, nor an AI hallucination, even as some confidently claimed them, all because the original work was discarded for a shitty alternative, much like workers themselves.

Any personals here?
AI hasn't replaced Translators and the attempt to use them to replace artists and journalists isn't going as well as you would assume. AI isn't replacing any skilled position. Anyone who told you it will, is selling you something or dreadfully ignorant on the topic.
Yeah I find most of the AI art generators are just allowing people who aren't artistic to make their own stuff which they wouldn't have paid someone for anyways if AI wasn't there, they would have just gone without, so it's not really a lose to artists.

Correct. But it has made Translators more productive so we need fewer of them. But the productivity gains will create other jobs and so on. So it's not as clear cut as people think. What will likely happen is that some jobs will vanish (anyone here remember elevator operators?) while some jobs will change and in other cases new professions will be created.

I have done professional translation, as a side gig. The usual workflow involves a first run through machine translation (Deepl is my favorite), then opening the machine translation in a translation program (I use CafeTran), which is used to make the second pass, by the human translator. This program doesn't translate (they can use one of the main translation engines) but provides a bunch of tools to make the translation refining process easier.
Pure machine translation is a hack. AI can't grasp nuances, contexts, etc... You will often see many words that may have several meanings, used incorrectly, for example.

Cooking is something that requires advanced robotics or some kind of heavily modular factory-like automated meal production line, not AI. Though AI certainly could assist in the development of such.
Drivers are being actively replaced right before our eyes.
A lot of Lawyer work is already being heavily automated, even without AI. Outside of that its "technically" replaceable with AI but on a literal legal level not likely currently possible. I think automating some aspects of being a lawyer might be beneficial but certain elements would be down right dystopian if fully automated.
Doctor work being automated is also already being done, but this is arguably a very good thing, as it maybe holds the key to a lot of medical breakthroughs and might unlock the potential to sort all that personal medical data people collect ever since that became a thing. And largely might help significantly reduce the cost of highly effective personal healthcare, given sufficient time.
Teacher work probably could be partially automated but getting kids to pay attention to a lesson, discipline, safety, etc would likely require a human to be around if only for liability.

Meanwhile my (college btw) teacher suggests us to use ChatGPT if we need help. Bro wants to replace himself.
Personal is a career?
Probably a hallucination of the AI that generated this
The original meme this was copied from is Brazilian:

The rich will always have money to pay better people to make beautiful things for them
Just be useful to the rich and you'll survive
Just like they planned it
I assume you, teaching as the profession that we have today is not at all safe.
People under Capitalism: Oh no, our jobs are being automated. 😱😭
People under Socialism: Finally! Now that our jobs are being automated, I can chill and watch TV, maybe go on a vacation. 😎🏖🍺🎉🎊🎇🎆

I wanted robots to do my menial unpleasant chores for me so I'd have more time to do art, writing, and analytics. I didn't want robots to do all the art, writing, and analytics so I had more time for chores & menial tasks 😭
Automation and job replacement is a good thing. The reason it feels bad is because we've tied the ability to satisfy our basic needs to employment. In an economic model that actually isn't a dystopian hellscape, robots replacing jobs is something to celebrate.
And to switch our economic model to one in which a person can thrive without pissing the vast majority of our lives away on the grind; we just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps!

How safe a profession is depends on how much more expensive replacing robots are than replacing people

What's a personal?
Personal trainers are called simply personal in Brazil, and the original comic is in Brazilian Portuguese. This is an AI translated version.
