Spent the last couple of months getting trough Nick Bostrom's 'superintelligence' and Martin Ford's 'Rise of the Robots'.
Whilst neither jump to firm conclusions, both paint a pretty convincing picture of a troubled future.
My own two pence is that you'd be wasting your time getting philosophical about whether an AI can truuuuly replace a human being. It's a bit like arguing that McDonald's are of no consequence until they are awarded a Michelin star. I reckon your future will be filled with plenty of inane, unsatisfying replacements for genuine human intelligence. But you'll grudgingly go along with it in the same way that you keep ending up on Ryanair flights despite repeatedly promising yourself never to do so again.
