Singularity will come sooner than you expect?

It is said that singularity will come by 2045 when AI overwhelms human activities entirely. Some people believe this idea, others never. In my opinion, singularity must come but it takes more several decades.

However, our jobs will be replaced by machines perhaps sooner than we imagine. According to a recent study, the majority of tasks in our society will be managed by machines by 2025.

This expectation seems radical. But the paper also says that 29% of the workplace tasks are performed by machine even now. It is hardly believable that approximately a third of all tasks is operated by machines, to be honest.

The degree of superiority of machines depends on the characteristics in each region of jobs. In the service industry, most people still want to be cared for by a human server. Machines will soon replace some of the tasks, such as moving support. But navigating a confused patient with dementia to a creative activity is not an easy task for current AI.

On the other hand, machines have been dominant in several regions while we are unconscious. Maybe we will not notice when singularity actually come.
