From The Medium about our relationship with AI/robots
Here are the Seven Stages of Robot Replacement:
1.
A robot/ computer cannot possibly do the tasks I do.
2.
[Later.]
OK, it can do a lot of those tasks, but it can’t do everything I do.
3.
[Later.]
OK, it can do everything I do, except it needs me when it breaks down, which is often.
4.
[Later.]
OK, it operates flawlessly on routine stuff, but I need to train it for new tasks.
5.
[Later.]
OK, OK, it can have my old boring job, because it’s obvious that was not a job that humans were meant to do.
6.
[Later.]
Wow, now that robots are doing my old job, my new job is much more interesting and pays more!
7.
[Later.]
I am so glad a robot/computer cannot possibly do what I do now.
