If there were a definition of bullsh*t job, it would be my job: working in production in a meat packing plant.
But I can't see my job being automated for at least 20 years, if ever. The required combination of proprioception, semantic understanding, visual interpretation, sensorimotor dexterity, and spatial and social awareness that is required looks to be well beyond any robot that has been mooted...ever, really.
If there were a robot to which you could say, "come back to my place and make me a cup of coffee", and it managed to do that, having never been there before, well, you'd be maybe 1% of the way to the required level of skill.

The really tough and often laborious part of middle management is dealing with bosses, clients and staff.
Now if AI could handle that, then I would happy write reports and project updates all day.
