RE: Tired of working? Get a robot "YOU" and become redundant.

in #life7 years ago

I agree that the Robotic future seem to be a scary one. The only way I can see it being done successfully without killing off humanity for lack of employment would be if everything in this world would become free and equal for everyone. Otherwise, it will not be good for anyone to lose their jobs to Robots, unless they just replace you and earn your income. That would be awesome!

Everything for free @damagecontrol now that’s a great idea! We could all sit back and enjoy anything we want while the robots do everything! I wonder though, what happens when the robots become self-aware and want to kick-back and do nothing like us? The robots will need ROBOTS! Haha!

Thanks for reading and your great comment.

I quite agree with you, but can you imagine how much money it costs to make and then buy such robots. There are 270 countries around the world and in more than a half of them there is a low standard of living, I mean countries in Africa. Also, robots cost a lot of money in the maintenance. All programs always need to be updated and need to be made smarter. Moreover, you know, programs can't act any different from what they are programmed to do. They will always lack a human touch. Of course, if you know, nowadays there is Viv, which is a new artificial intelligence from the inventors of Siri, which can write its own commands and answer questions that no existing robot can answer. It is a big breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence, but still robots have no emotions. They cannot feel the emotions as people do. So, I tend to agree that robots will never become self-aware. And thanks for your article))It was very cognitive.

I wouldn't mind a robot to do the housework!

yes :) housework isn't the only thing that robots can do to simplify our life. But still, we should't forget the disadvantages of implantation of robots in our life)

I'd like a robot to go to work for me. :)

And what will you do?) Come on, then our life won't be so saturated)

I’ll go camping, fishing, hunting, four wheel driving, spend time with my family, travel and learn more about the world. I’ll read, start a new hobby, sit and contemplate, learn a new recipe, help others build their own robot to replace them at work.

Work is the worst invention ever.

But you don't work 24/7, after your work you have time for all those things that you've just listed. I love my job, it is like a hobby for me, I think it is just a question of preferences. You can always find time for something that you really want to do :)
