IIRC the Robotics Lab at MIT has been doing the undergrad project that has students try to develop machines that take care of tomatoes from seedlings to end of life including the harvest.

Police, Fire and Healthcare may be the last of the jobs available but they are becoming more automated and telepresence allowing cheap labor may be the tech influence there.

I do not disagree with you. In health care in most cases they actually are already transitioning to models where most of the actual work is done by “cheap” labor. Actual nurses mostly supervise and document and have much less if any hands on time with patients. That is one of the primary reasons why the quality of our health care is declining even while prices rise out of control.
