Title: Are Robots Going to Replace the Human Race?
Post by: JuST Peter on May 29, 2015, 04:43:15 AM

As technology improves at faster rates than ever before, accompanied by recent breakthroughs in robotics and artificial intelligence, just where are heading.
Are we going to become obsolete in just a few years?
Could you imagine a bunch of robots on a RTE?
The following looks a tad scary for our kids' kids:

Robots don't need to read newspaper, it'll all be in their heads via the internet.

Quite a few of those early robots will be out of work once Ford, Toyota and Holden close up shop plus the people as well.

If 'we' are not here anymore, why will there be a need for any robots, and by whom?   :whistle

Truly worrying, but the concept has been thought about for some years.
If the robot-written music is the best it can do, they'll still be plenty of jobs for musicians!!
If you're young, make sure you learn a few instruments and get your music writing skills up to speed.

I watched a couple of episodes of a series called "real Humans" on SBS2? 2 nights ago. The theme is based on robots that have been developed to look and sound like Humans to some degree and the interactions that normal people then have with the Hubots as they're called.
In Swedish, but subtitled.
