sorry, AI is designed for replacing people who work in office.

Truth. Things that require dexterity outside of very controlled conditions (ie. huge factories) are mostly safe from this wave of AI advancement. Things that require human interaction are also safe until uncanny valley is crossed. Even things that require application of domain knowledge - that the AI can have - in the real world are mostly safe. Your plumber won't get automated any time soon. Many desk jobs, however, will become redundant quickly: perhaps 1 in 10 will keep their job, but the job will change into AI supervision and management. At least I hope it will; giving the AI any kind of uncontrolled agency currently seems like a pretty dumb thing to do... Not that people won't try, though.
