I'll still have an advantage over someone with a high school education. I can communicate, write, solve problems on my own, think abstractly, analyze facts and apply them to different situations.
I'm not trying to make fun of this guy, but his list of cognizance qualities to compete with AI is literally some of the things that my son's kindergarten class is expected to be able to do at the end of the year is on the goal list for children to advance to first grade. I understand he means on a much higher level. I'm assuming. But these aren't industry saving skills, nor what the Systems Engineer was talking about. I still believe that there's going to be many jobs available for a sharp legal mind that litigates with strategy and skill. But not enough positions that would match the number of people holding legal degrees. If AI does to the legal community what it did to the medical transcription community.
Kiwis' low standard of living means that it's probably not worthwhile to replace them with AI. You'd need skilled technology workers who would need to be paid a premium to live on desolate, isolated rocks in the middle of nowhere. Realistically, you'd rather continue paying very little to unskilled new zealanders.
In my country you're a genius if you can spell your own name properly. I'm a fucking retard and all my colleagues at work think I'm super smart because I've read a book.

Did you know that the bathtub was first marketed in north america as a horse trough and dog scalder?

Automation has been coming for all the jobs for the past 15 years now. Still nothing.

Yes and many professions are almost extinct, but we just keep creating new ways to waste people's time by making them work. Pointless paper-pushing jobs, created due to overarching legal and social norms, human resource crap, hipster hand-made bullshit, services that wouldn't have to exist if people just worked less to name a few examples. We could be working 20 hours a week by now and would loose very little productivity.

It's been 'coming' since the industrial revolution.

Tbh the idea of robot lawyers makes me giddy, the drama that would result from their case hearings would be delicious.

NZ is currently seeking tech workers and are willing to fly out their families to NZ if the tech worker is willing to be interviewed.
