The list horribly wrong for academics such as mathematicians or historians. AI is basically regurgitating a summary of the knowledge that already exists. Some of the more advanced ones can infer a few things too.



The problem when trying to apply AI to mathematicians or historians, is that as PhD holders it is their job to create new knowledge. They train to bring things into existence that have never existed. This is the exact thing that AI is incapable of doing.


The only thing that I see AI affecting for mathematicians or historians is the bread and butter meta-analysis. These are papers that academics publish just to fluff the resumes. They often just involve summaries of existing research, and at best making an implication or two about their results. But the rest of the day-to-day activity of both historians and mathematicians can't be done by AI

I don’t believe Mathematicians. They’re the ones creating this stuff mainly.

There are so few PhD Mathematicians they’re getting the bag thrown at them by Meta and all these other A.I companies. PhD Mathematicians and Computer Scientists are literally getting $100 Million signing bonuses, $10 Million/year salaries, etc.

A lot of the list is accurate though, but really most jobs are threatened by A.I and Robotics.

But don't many of them copy each other? I've heard that AI has detected plagiarism among many who presented their work as original.
