alt Hacker News10-20 years? I doubt it. There are a bunch of companies actively working in bringing AI into robots, so they can make your dishes. And so far progress looks quite good. Also, if enough people are going for the same backup plan it might not work out. Why should anyone book you as a personal trainer instead of the other 500 guys in town. And who is going to be able to afford paying you anyway?

I know, I'm excited to buy the first relatively affordable ones.
Sure, could happen. You can't really plan for the future -- we like to think we can, but the best you can do is set your goals and deal with the hand life gives you along the way.
I'm not particularly worried about this, but that's an individual thing based on network/connections and life history that doesn't apply to everyone.

I’d be willing to bet any amount of money that there will be ~the same or more people doing physical labor in 10 years than today.
