This I'm a little suspicious of, because of all tasks human did throughout history, labour-intensive stuff has _always_ been automated the most, and we didn't need AI to do it. Stuff like combine harvesters, sewing machines, more recently car-building robots, automated vast swathes of manual labor. Maybe AI won't be the deciding technology for automating what's left, but advances in robotics may well be.
