I recently asked about career prospects for a 12-year-old regarding the impact of AI on jobs. With AI affecting writing, art, music, and more, I'm curious about landscaping as a career choice. Many people suggested it might be a good path, but I'm wondering if there's any chance AI could pose a threat to landscaping jobs in the future. Could AI replace certain aspects of this field, or is manual labor safe from automation?

For sure, landscape design could be at risk from AI since it can deal with creative elements, but the actual labor might be safe. Plus, think about jobs that might actually benefit from automation. Some workers find physical tasks unbearable, and robots could do them better without the pain.
Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. If you're only 12, it's a good idea to keep an eye on where things are headed for the next few years before you commit to any career path. Things are changing fast in tech, and who knows what the future holds?
I think the manual side of landscaping is quite safe for now. While AI might take over things like landscape design, the hands-on work, like mowing lawns and planting, is less likely to be automated anytime soon. It would take a pretty advanced robot to handle the intricacies of actual landscaping without causing chaos.
Yeah, I agree! It's like the whole automatic car debate—AI just needs to be less error-prone than a human for it to really catch on.

Totally! At 12, you don't want to rush into a decision with how quickly tech is evolving.
