Which other profession has the same amount of training data freely available for the taking?

Don't need much training data for bank/insurance/retail analyst work - it's just basic reasoning and data retrieval. If AI could crack the programming nut - one of the most intellectually challenging professions - it can handle the rest with ease. The only human role will be high level monitoring - and even this will be largely automated so fewer will be required.

  • Sorry to reply to myself but I just recalled the recent Apple ad that ran last year about a corporate goofball who got his Apple device to fire off well crafted email slop to his manager who looked surprised/impressed. That trick will only last for a short time. The joke is that people like him and his manager will be the first to be fired.
