Automation vector
Professional athletes perform an extreme physical activity based on bodily performance and competition in the real world. This occupation is intrinsically human; AI is only used as a tool for performance analysis, diet optimisation, and injury prevention. The economic and social value of professional sport lies in the effort, epic narrative, and human physical talent, making automation conceptually impossible.
