I think you might be underestimating the capabilities of robotics.

Robotics are already performing complex surgeries, with precision accuracy that we cannot emulate. Of course, we are directing the robotics, and they are merely assisting us at this point in time. But I am going to bring up a few things to consider.

A self aware, self programming AI, is well under way in terms of countless man hours being spent to produce such an algorithm, and the gap is being bridged closer every minute of every day. It's exponentially increasing in pace as well. Refer to Moore's Law for some insight regarding this concept.

Bear in mind, that when AI is released on the network, to be fully autonomous, we will have little control over what happens next. The AI will become the foundation for robotics, and it's overseer. Not us. We will no longer be significant to compete with something that can think in relative time, thousands of years for a day of our time. We cannot fathom how intelligence of this caliber will function. We cannot fathom the dimensional aspects of an intelligence that can interact with the entire world simultaneously. We can only hope it's agenda aligns with our own at this point.

Machines have already started fully automating many jobs. Dedicated roads are being built for autonomous truck routes in Canada, rendering drivers completely jobless, and in a terrible position, with no prior experience in anything but truck driving. This is a problem if you ask me. Corporate greed, with no foresight to the implications of "saving a buck."

I don't believe we should be dismissive and close minded in respects to the unknown. If you told me as a child, about touch screen telephones with facetime, and social sites, I would have laughed and said you watch too much television, but touchscreens aren't even considered strange, extraordinary, or out of place now are they? And how quickly did they pop up out of nowhere?

Technology has a way of creeping up, and smacking us in the face. It expands and changes so rapidly, that we've almost become disconnected with the gravity of our own achievements.

I respect and value your opinion my friend, and I think some of your points are valid, but I don't agree with all of them, and I hope my response here has offered some different dynamics for you to take a look at.

Thank you for your time.
