“I don’t care how many Robots we have there always be a need for humans to do things for other humans - end of story.”

I thought the same for a while

But being in engineering, I recently got to see some of the latest AI in action. I no longer think we are are THAT far away from machines that can exceed the brain power of most humans. Maybe 1-2 decades.

These things learn entirely on their own simply from watching others (no task-based programming needed) and improve their own techniques through experience. EXACTLY like humans learn and they already seem to learn faster than humans in some tasks.

Also, you can mesh ALL the machines on earth together in real time. They will learn from ALL of their individual experiences as a mass collective accross potentially infinite human lifetimes. The implications of such power are staggering...

There’s no way anyone can predict how that will turnout. Skynet, anyone?

I do know this. There’s no way you will be able to prevent such things. The possible gains are too impressive to stop.
