Automation is replacing jobs – What do you think?

Well the robot is cheaper, is never ill, never dies and works 24h. And it can be replaced without any hassle for the next better model.

Does need repair etc. But I hope companies dont go down this route because I dont know if you remember but back in the 90's Taco Bell went full Robot and was quicker but had to revert back because people liked the communication and seeing people work

The thing is, when it happens gradually then people are way more likely to adopt to it. Order your food at a display and get it served by a human. Then replace the cook. Then replace the server. At the end most jobs are gone. And for the car industry, robots already do most jobs and humans currently only do the last assembly stages, but once AI gets smarter, this will be replaced too.

Have you watched the video by CGP Grey? That one is really good in showing whit will be replaced first. And jobs like sewer cleaning will be the first being replaced, because no one sees them work so no one cares.

I agree with you that this is not good, but I think it is still inevitable.

Yea thats very true I hope it doesnt come down to that. It may fully come down to that black mirror episode where people vote on people lol. Yea I will look more into this the next 5 years will be interesting

Only time will tell ^^ Let's hope time is gentle
