Brian Chesky’s AI Job Apocalypse: Robots Won’t Serve Wine…Yet

Brian Chesky, Airbnb’s CEO and presumed wine-aficionado, confidently declared at Goldman Sachs’ 2025 tech conf in San Francisco that while AI is nuking jobs left and right—coders, paralegals, even rideshare drivers displaced by robotaxis—hospitality remains the human fortress. "Where else but Bordeaux can you insist your wine isn’t served by a glorified toaster?" he mused. Airbnb aims to morph from rental overlord to an 'everything app' offering massages and photogs, hoping displaced drivers and lawyers beat a path to their digital door. Meanwhile, AI’s 'godfather' Geoffrey Hinton chuckled and advised plumbing as a recession-proof career choice, since Airbnb guests apparently hate classic bathroom signs.
