Jobs that National believes AI robots will take over
National reckons AI can replace social workers — because nothing comforts a struggling family like a chatbot saying ‘Have you tried not being poor?’
Nicola Willis thinks AI can handle mental health — because when you’re at your lowest, nothing hits quite like a machine asking you to rate your despair out of five.
David Seymour must love it — teachers replaced by AI so kids can learn economics directly from a machine that’s never met a human need it couldn’t privatise.
Winston Peters spent years warning about losing our identity — now we’re outsourcing it to an algorithm trained somewhere offshore.
Shane Jones backing robot public servants in the regions is classic — nothing says local jobs like a server farm in another country.
National’s dream is a fully automated public service — no workers, no accountability, and best of all, no one left to explain why it’s not working.
This isn’t about efficiency — it’s about building a system where suffering is processed, not solved, and no one is left to care that it exists!
