The robot is already smart enough to give an ear pleasing answer that won’t scare anyone

"We're more about shifting roles rather than stealing jobs" is what the manufacturing executives said when they sent all the factory jobs overseas. Turns out the new roles were low-paying service jobs, if that.

[chrisbennett]

Perfect answer and that is even more terrifying 😂

[wereid]

the answer is yes but it will be decades before they can even start to be creative in handy fashion.

If a robot becomes a coworker, then that means instead of hiring a human they hired robot. So the robot did steal someone's job.

I'm 28 and keep being refused for a job so I won't have any problems with them taking jobs

[streetracingmiscreant]

Shifting their role from being unemployed inanimate objects, to humans being the objects of unemployment.

Are robots going to take human jobs? “This is San Francisco. Look outside. You’ll be in a tent also soon! Ha ha ha ha ha”

[michaelduhamell.]

Hiding the truth.
Yeah, we believe you.

[gcarrier]

So, you'll be the coworker of 25% of people that don't lose their jobs to robots/AI. What's that meme of kid saying "bullshit... bullshit"

[SR-hlvz]

Also the coworkers that does not get moody, needs healthcare, breaks, days off, paid leave. Let’s see which one the boss wants to keep and which one they want to let go.

[mountainman]

A bot could take that suits job but anyone with a job that requires craftsmanship is safe.

[theonethatcan]

I see AI already has corporate jargon down

[patrickgmackin]

Already talking like a politician. Deflect the answer instead of saying YES.

[grimspyder]

Well considering i have brought seafood to microwave, some of my coworkers would welcome robots.😅

[Lovin_It]

Just what we need, butler-like robots with British accents

[henrylechmere]

Robots aren't supposed to take people's jobs at all! They may do things that some people may not do or find impossible

[adamcampbell]

Better question, will robots take human lives?

[stevemilk]

And what happens to the humans who had their jobs previously?!?! How are they providing for their families?!

[onsenguy]

that thing's basically a toaster with a Halloween mask. how's it going to perform my job?
