Author Topic: Would you want robots to take over all work?  (Read 3250 times)

Menial tasks, higher-paid jobs with more experience, and even creative jobs.

My opinion is that it would take away an important part of being human. I have had long stretches of time with nothing to do, and it makes me feel like my life is pointless.



I'd definitely want them shooting the enemy for us, and exracting hostages, because that'd lower the death rate of officers. But if it's to be creative like drawing? forget that.

how does a robot do creative stuff

Technology is loving magic. In 30 years a robot could be making music that sounds nothing like just a bunch of beeps.

anything a robot can do effectively I think they should do it
if robots did all our work for us, we wouldn't need to do anything we didn't want to do
like, if robots did all the welding work, but a human was also capable of it, and wanted to do it, then they could do it. but they wouldn't have to worry about getting fired or not having enough money to support their family and they could work only when they wanted to and if they were tired or sick or wanted to see a family member then there would be no need for them to go to work
that's the world I wanna live in

I mean, it'll be self-sustaining too. they'll supply their own power and fix themselves and even improve themselves to allow them to do the jobs better once they were advanced enough. human beings could do whatever they wanted

also, no wars. there would never be wars again. and even if by some weird coincidence a war did break out, there would be no loss of human life

goodbye private sector jobs and job security
this is worse than outsourcing.

I'm admittedly one of the people who has a slight fear of possible ROBOT OVERLORDS so no. ;~;

Only to take over baby-making.

job security is irrelevant if you don't need a job to survive

What foxscotch says is something almost all politicians are too afraid to say, but it totally true, fewer jobs is not a bad thing, it's more efficient. People are scared of the thought of having no job, but it's nonsensical.

uh
I don't think you get what I'm saying
jobs are important right now. more jobs would be a good thing for us at the moment. they're not getting replaced by robots that will make our lives easier, they're just getting replaced by people in foreign countries who don't get paid a fair amount of money
we can't do robots yet. that wouldn't work with our economic system, and probably not even with our government. and it would require the whole world, or at least the industrially-important parts, to do the same thing. which is a very far-off goal for now

it wouldn't really work out unless we were replacing tons of workers with robots at the same time. which would undoubtedly require the help of not only our government but the governments any other countries involved. I'm not even confident enough to say that it's feasible without sharing one government

But you're not really talking about more or less jobs if I see what you say correctly, you mean bringing the jobs back to the countries "they belong"? Or do I see that wrong?
