Amelia Michael(@amelia__michael):A common argument for why AI might take a while to automate all intellectual jobs is that there’s a long tail of jobs that require exceptional intellectual ability. But I don’t think this is true of physical jobs. Unlike intellectual jobs, few physical jobs require exceptional physical abilities. Because of this, robot hardware probably doesn’t need to exceed median human physical abilities (like strength or dexterity) to automate most physical jobs.
