These are the five university degrees that are not recommended, according to AI and experts.

A very interesting article, in which you can read the title: "These are the five university majors that AI recommends not studying." It's very important to clarify: what is being indicated here is a recommendation from AI, not that AI will replace them. I think it's a pretty accurate title.

Understand, again, that these are two completely different things. The "AI is killing professions" thing is not what is being proposed here. It simply mentions the majors that AI recommends not studying because someone asked it and, as always, it answered something. It's that simple.

First recommendation: Correction or translation of texts

I think we're starting with an easy-to-understand point. Careers focused exclusively on proofreading or translating texts were already losing ground, and with AI, this is accelerating.

This isn't saying they'll disappear completely, but rather that little by little there will be less demand. Before, for example, perhaps ten people were needed to translate a book; now, perhaps only one is needed. This means fewer job opportunities.

Thanks to tools like AI, this work becomes easier and faster. That's why it's recommended not to study these careers if your goal is to be widely in demand.

In my case, I've used the text formatting aspect a lot. For example, I record a video, upload it to YouTube, get the transcript, and pass it to ChatGPT so it maintains my tone, adds commas, accents, titles, and some formatting. It classifies it perfectly.

Second recommendation: Business Administration

I don't really know anything about this field. If you do, I'd love to hear about it. But from what's been said, since it includes accounting and management, it could become less in demand due to automation and the use of AI.

Third recommendation: Print media

Careers focused solely on print media are slowly dying. The digitalization of content is increasingly in demand, especially with the number of devices we use every day.

Fourth recommendation: Repetitive digital tasks

This includes careers related to office automation or repetitive tasks like managing an Excel spreadsheet.
In another video, I discussed the case of a data analyst hired to manage a huge Excel spreadsheet... and AI solved much of his work.

Any profession based solely on filling out spreadsheets or repetitively processing data is doomed to disappear.

Fifth recommendation: Highly specialized careers

This isn't new, but it's still valid. An extremely niche career, without sufficient demand, isn't highly recommended. It's not that AI will directly replace it, but its job viability is low.

Final Tip: Adaptability

The article concludes with a key point: adaptability. Many careers, including programming, must adapt to changing times.

AI is not your replacement; it's a tool, an assistant that can enhance your work.

The 10 professions that artificial intelligence could replace

Let's analyze some careers that are in danger of disappearing due to AI. They all have in common that they are simple, repetitive, or scripted responses.

1. Interpreters and translators

I think this point has been clear for years. Tools like Google Translate already allow for easy translation from one language to another.
With the arrival of AI-powered virtual assistants, it's obvious why these tasks are being replaced: the processes are faster and more accurate than those of a person. A trained model can handle multiple languages ​​without human limitations.

2. Historians

This is where what I mentioned earlier comes into play: data management. AI can analyze huge volumes of information and respond to virtually any query instantly.

3. Passenger assistants

In this case, we're talking about repetitive tasks: answering customer questions based on a manual. An AI can be trained with the company's materials and respond automatically and consistently.

In fact, I'm planning something similar with my academic books: training a local AI with my texts to automatically generate review questions and quizzes.

4. Sales representatives

Very similar to the previous case. The AI ​​is trained with the company's knowledge base and answers customer questions in chats or even by voice.

5. Writers and authors

Here's my personal experience. When I write my posts, I transfer the audio from my videos to ChatGPT, with a simple prompt to correct grammar, add punctuation, and improve the structure without changing my style.

AI can not only generate content from scratch but also refine existing texts, making it an ideal tool for writers.

6. Customer service representatives

Same as with sales: chatbots trained with repetitive information. Nothing more to add.

7. Computer numerical control programmers

I didn't know much about this, but it basically involves writing code for machines that make parts. Because it's a closed context, it's easily replaceable, unlike general programming, which is much more complex.

8. Telephone operators

Another repetitive task: answering calls. A voice-enabled AI can easily replace it.

9. Travel agents and ticket sales

Again, the same thing as with sales and customer service: simple, repetitive information based on a script. AI can handle the entire process.

10. Radio announcers and presenters

This is a special case. There will always be a preference for a human element, even though AI is already capable of generating very natural voices. It can even create entire discussions from documents you provide.

Final reflection

AI is best suited for closed environments and repetitive tasks, where it can be trained with specific information. Whether for translation, sales, customer service, or writing, the potential is enormous.
