An idea / hypothesis I have:

The jobs that are going to be most decimated by this current (and the next few subsequent) forms of AI imo is the jobs that Graeber's talks about in "Bullshit Jobs"

Here's the original essay that spawned the idea of the book:

The original article is worth a read.

"Yet it is the peculiar genius of our society that its rulers have figured out a way ... to ensure that rage is directed precisely against those who actually do get to do meaningful work. For instance: in our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously one's work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it. Again, an objective measure is hard to find, but one easy way to get a sense is to ask: what would happen were this entire class of people to simply disappear? Say what you like about nurses, garbage collectors, or mechanics, it's obvious that were they to vanish in a puff of smoke, the results would be immediate and catastrophic."
