Imagine an invention that does a perfect job of brain surgery. And brain surgeons complain.

Now imagine a day where a new type of disease is discovered, but it needs some mechanical help from a surgeon because the AI just can't make the leap to do that. But there are no more surgeons because they didn't want to pursue a worthless career. What then?

The problem with your argument is that word "perfect". AI will never reach that stage and there will always be costs.

When that day comes, you think they won't? They spent their lives carefully honing a skill that is now worthless.
