As many other comments have said, the title is misleading; the key quotation is:

"(...) allows anyone to portray themselves as a world-class ballerina (...)"

Moreover, after AlphaGO took away Go from us, I started to wonder "what is left" for humans, and I believe that we are centuries away to have machines that achieve world class dancing level. My reasoning is than in things like Go, image or speech recognition, it is easier to "encode" the information for the ML to actually learn. On the other hand, encoding the movements of professional dancers is already quite difficult. Consider for example in the video linked here, the whole human body is mapped into ~20 points. Sure, this may be enough to portray someone as a dancer. But good luck making a dancing robot.

So, maybe I quit my programming career to become a dancer, it is less likely to be a job that the machines will take away ;-)

I tried joining a dance class at my gym. I looked ridiculous. I have no confidence that I'd look as good as the coach even after a year of practice. Well, I think it helps that everyone else in the class is in much better shape than me, their moves are more... nice to look at.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if machines can't dance if I can't either. Still no job for me. :)

People said the same about Go. There are AIs that can compose enjoyable music already.

Robotics is a bit harder than board games.
