Art is becoming automated.  Even if it never makes it to the top tier of creativity that humans possess (and it may very well make it there), very few humans will make it to a tier high enough to compete with the automation, especially on the skill per effort chart.<p>For research, I haven&#x27;t paid much attention to automation for stereotypical research (scientists doing science in labs), but there is a lot of automation happening in discovery process for legal research that is cutting down the number of individuals needed.  I doubt it has maxed out the potential for automation anymore than other areas.<p>As for interpersonal relationships, they may also be possible to automate (robots, simulations, etc. that manage to cross the uncanny valley combined with increasing knowledge of how human interactions work lead me to think it is possible eventually).  I expect that we will even see the world&#x27;s oldest profession one day have competition from automation.<p>I think one key to remember with automation is that people are willing to skimp on quality to save money.  So even if we cannot replicate the work of humans to the same level of quality, automation can still compete when comparing quality per cost such that the paths are not a viable career option for most people.
