Amidst ongoing discussions about artificial intelligence reshaping the job market, plumbing is often cited as one of the few professions seemingly immune to automation. One plumber, a seasoned professional with over ten years of experience, recently shared their thoughts on this narrative, which has been fueled by tech enthusiasts and media outlets. In a Reddit post, the plumber reflected on the implications of being considered ‘un-replaceable’ by AI, questioning whether it’s a cause for celebration or a sign of stagnation while other industries leverage AI for increased efficiency. The conversation highlights a growing divide: while some workers see AI assisting in their daily tasks, plumbers remain firmly rooted in the hands-on, often challenging, reality of dealing with pipes and fixtures.
