Real LPT in the comments as always . <| sep |> I bet a date with you ends with a nightcap . chloroform , rope , tarp , industrial strength bleach , and multiple black trash bags . <| sep |> Ah , that makes a lot more sense . My mistake . <| sep |> I suspect the future will have a massive boost in services and highlevel thinking that is not achievable through automation in the near term . Robots will do mechanical , low thought labour while humans will handle the higher level creative stuff which frankly is where we shine anyway , humans are wasted on low thought activities , our brains can do so much more ! Further to this pointA real distinction I notice between the USA and other countries is the incredibly diverse range of services available in the USA . These are people making money by providing conveniences and likely won ' t be easily replaced by robotics due to their uniqueness . There is certainly a lot of caveats in my story above , but I ' m not buying into the idea of doom and gloom . Worrying about robots is like worrying about switch board operators . There does seem to be ample opportunity to adapt and retraining individuals whose job was lost to automation is already a thing .
