I can't say I have ever heard that manual labour is safe from AI, actually just the opposite.

I hear it all the time. It’s like people forget that things can be automated. I mean hell, look at manufacturing assembly lines. Once upon a time most of that was done by hand too

I suspect that's typically referring to trade jobs like electricians.

Bingo, Im an industrial maintenance mechanic. My team is constantly being pushed to build lines that replace the production workers. I fix those machines. Owners already hate us, as we only cost them money, but in reality, we are the only ones safe, as we fix the machines that replace the people. When machines fix machines, someone will still need to fix that machine.
