Lol no it's not. We are literally developing Large scale LANGUAGE models first. Sales will be one of the first things to go.

Sure, if you have that attitude your sales job will go, but you probably didn't need tech for that to happen.
Sales, psychology, and other people skills will be fine for quite sometime, why? because I ain't gonna talk to no goddamn robot, I buy from someone who can look me in the eye.

Thats why.

If you want to buy a toothbrush, an AI will sell you a toothbrush.

If a salesperson is in charge if the sale, you will ask for a toothbrush and he will ask about it and the intent. he will get to know your situation, and you'll leave with a dental appointment for the black teeth, a doctors appointment for the potential problem going on, some dental floss, some mouthwash, and a new camera for the pictures of you smiling once you use all of it.

A AI will sell you what you need, but a salesman will find out what you want, even if you don't realize it yet.

Which is more important to a company, selling a toothbrush or selling the whole array of products the sell because someone was looking for a toothbrush.

Go listen to some Zig Ziglar. It'll change your life man, and make you less emo along the way.
