I think it’s already having an effect on labor jobs too, and will continue to ramp.
Not because of robots (but that will come soon enough), but because you can take a picture of leaky plumbing or a home maintenance task and upload it and ask for step by step directions on how to DIY.
I’ve saved thousands doing this already this month alone.
Is this really a trend ? It surely is helping a DIY enthusiast to perform a new task, but I doubt it will convert a non manual labour enclined person to do the task. Also these ready made DIY how-tos work for a certain country only and can hardly be made global. E.g Most of american made how-tos make no sense for someone living in Europe
