And there's companies doing this now for French fries. It's over like we are within, you know, I think five, ten years of a lot of these jobs. We're talking tens of millions of manual labor jobs being gone.View on YouTube
The prediction sets a time window of 5–10 years from September 1, 2022, i.e. roughly September 2027–September 2032, for “tens of millions” of manual labor jobs (like fast-food prep) to be gone due to robotics and AI.
As of November 30, 2025, we are only about 3¼ years past the episode date, which is before the earliest point (5 years) in the stated 5–10 year window. Even if we could precisely measure global job losses from automation today, the prediction is about what will have happened by 2027–2032, not by 2025.
Current evidence suggests that automation and AI are starting to transform some manual and routine service jobs (e.g., various trials of burger-flipping robots, automated fryers, kiosks, and drive‑thru automation), but there is no robust data yet showing that tens of millions of such jobs have already disappeared specifically due to robots/AI; most analyses still characterize the large‑scale displacement as a future risk rather than a completed fact. However, this does not resolve whether the claimed scale of job loss will materialize by 2027–2032.
Because the forecast period has not arrived or completed, and the claim concerns outcomes that may still occur in the remaining years of that window, it is too early to judge the prediction as right or wrong.
