I think there are some jobs where the role of the job is to - for lack of time to come up with a better phrase: "help humans struggle with human things".

Yes, a nurse's role is to heal, but also to offer comfort to a patient, a teacher's job is to instruct, but also to try different ways of connecting with a student struggling to understand an idea.

I don't know if people think those types of jobs are bad or not. I think some of my family members would have had better hospital experiences if they could have had more attention from staff, so I don't think I'd call it useless.

I think that automation could lead to a world where more of the humans-dealing-with-human-things types of jobs are being done.
