Heck the adds for Watson from IBM during the AFC playoff game this past weekend were scaring the heck out of me as it was. We seem to be on the road to making ourselves obsolete. Just have to hope the AIs decide to keep us around for quaint entertainment.

The good news is that Watson and its successors are how you solve the "healthcare crisis". Watson-like technology will enable computers to outperform 99% of all doctors for routine healthcare screening within a few years. The result is that 90%+ of all routine doctor office visits could be eliminated within a decade.

For those requiring treatment, robo-surgeons will again cover 90%+ of all outpatient care.

We’ll have to entertain them all the time.
