I think mid-skill blue collar jobs, like plumbing will be more resilient. Though if you told me that these jobs would be automated by 2050, I'd believe you.

Insurance costs and actually having robotics capable of fixing DND self diagnosis would be incredibly expensive. A person can perform the labor faster and more accurately at a way lower cost point.

She was laid off along with several hundred people doing similar work.

Sounds like essentially data entry in some form and yeah, AI is light years better at data entry and document review at a cheaper price point.

On the one hand that company is now hiring a ton of IT jobs. However, I wonder how long it will be before mid and high skill jobs become automated as well.

Depends on the job. IT exists and always will due to the ease at which soft and hardware can fail and will fail. Maintaining is hard, switching platforms is months to years of work and most importantly if there's no actual human body handling IT then it's on executives to shoulder blame and inconvenience.

AI is powerful but it's limited. Simple repeatable tasks are it's bread and butter. mid skill jobs that require any amount of improv or personalization are not easily replicable. Simple tasks are what's going to get mixed but even then a manager will still exist to be an executive buffer.

Almost 100% they will be impacted.

Possibly but still it would require someone be involved be it as transportation or maintenance. Somebody has to be hands on for liabilities sake.
