    Human-contact based jobs should still all be available. Frankly speaking: apart from the AI hype which should just make automated tasks easier, faster and error-proof in the digital world, what jobs are we talking about?

          And the forklifts removed dozens of jobs a piece in manual workers using hoists and pulleys to move material.
