What is your take on the fact that the rise of AI could start to take the place of various hands-on careers For example, AI motion tracking could begin to replace the human element of a physical therapist; or do you feel that jobs requiring unpredictable physical work are "safe" and will never truly replicate what a human can do? ?

I'm in my Junior year in High School and I'm interested in becoming a Physical Therapist. My question is specifically about AI in general while also being interested in the Physical Therapy aspect of it.
