人工知能「失われる職業の話」

ある大学の英作文のテーマに機械が人間から仕事を奪うならどのようなものなのか？理由を含めて詳しく書けとあった。意外にもこのテーマは見たことがない。書くけど短時間では無理。
A certain university provides examinees with a unique question of English composition : what kind of profession does the artificial intelligence deprive humans of ?
This university requires them to explain the reason and the details, where we unexpectedly encounter this kind of the theme or subject : we would have enough ability to address this question, but we don’t have enough time to write a complete and satisfactory answer, we assume.

学校はなくならないか。集団行動を基本とするものはなくなりつつある。日本の学校教育は伝統的にクラスルームがある。単なる連絡事項の伝達だけなら担任を固定しなくてもよいはず。
We cannot imagine that we don’t have any schools around the neighborhood, but the educational system based on the group activities has been vanishing in our society because the conventional educational system has considered someone antisocial as someone useless.
This attitude toward those who like personal activities should be criticized for something insulting, he says.
The traditional Japanese education has adopted the fixed classrooms, where one home-room teacher must be in charge of about 40 students, who informs them of what they should do mechanically, an expert explains.

レジの店員もいなくなりつつあるが完全に不在にはならない。バーコード操作は客にはできない。それを人工知能が自動的におこなう店もある。それは不正ができないので店員は不要だ。
The number of clerks at the cash register has become smaller and smaller, but the complete absence of them forces the customers to feel something convenient.
Simultaneously, the barcode’s operations cannot be available on the side of customers, which prevents them from stealing commodities behind their shoulders.
Both the barcode’s operations and the billing calculation are conducted by the artificial intelligence at a certain clothing store, where the payment system won’t need any clerks at the cash register because the customers cannot do something undesirable or repulsive, he says.

絶対になくならないのは風俗だ。VRがどんなに現実味を出しても身体的接触はない。ホストクラブも不可能だ。人工知能はお酒が飲めない。これは大学入試の解答として相応しくない。
What our society absolutely needs might be the sexual entertainment business because numerous kinky customers cannot dispense with a female cast there.
Of course, the technical advancements about the virtual reality have enabled us to watch the sexual movies, but we cannot have the experience to have physical contacts between the male kinky customers and the female casts.
We cannot imagine that numerous cool male hosts at the special facilities would vanish from our society because various kinds of females need their existence, he says.
Simultaneously, the artificial intelligent hosts cannot enjoy something alcoholic, however, such an answer isn’t appropriate in the examinee viewpoint, an article says.
