Jobs are under threat due to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation. Some time ago, Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu had said that AI will impact many jobs, but AI will not be able to replace jobs like farming because these are related to care, culture and purpose. But a video clip has raised questions on his statement. In this video, an AI robot is seen working with a hoe in the field, which has received more than 1 million views.
Sridhar Vembu had said this
- In fact, in his X post made in February, Vembu mentioned many types of work like taking care of children, teaching children, taking care of the elderly, leaving a well-paid job to take up farming, working as a forest ranger due to his love for nature, serving as a priest of the local temple and being a classical musician who performs riyaaz and performing without worrying about the crowd.
- According to him, people who choose these paths do not do so primarily for the money. This is why AI will not be able to diminish their sense of purpose or purpose.
- He further said that as technology takes over efficiency tasks, it may be possible that humans will gradually start organizing themselves more around such tasks.

- But looking at a post made by an X user named fidexCode, it seems that AI has arrived in the field of farming. Let us tell you that the user who posted calls himself a developer.
- In the video posted by him, a robot is seen working with a spade in the field along with the caption that you should try your hand in farming, AI is taking away tech jobs. And on the other hand, this is the condition of AI.
- This post quickly caught people’s attention as users were joking that those who want to adopt the path of farming to escape from AI may have to rethink their plans.
- Thousands of people reacted to this video. Many people said that they did not expect that AI-powered robots would start doing physical work so soon.

People are reacting to the video
One person even asked Elon Musk’s AI chatbot ‘Grok’ if the clip was made using generative AI. Grok responded that it was probably created by generative AI, but added that the purpose of the video was to show where robotics is headed. She said AI-powered robots can further help overcome labor shortage, increase farming productivity and work alongside humans.
Looking at this video, it seems that the time is not far when AI robots will be seen working everywhere from fields to offices, either with humans or in place of humans.
