Food for thought:

I am working on AI robot that will ultimately replace human programmers/coders/software engineers. It will make human programmers obsolete.

What will most of you do? Will you go back to school to get a new degree/profession? Open a coffee shop perhaps? or apply for peace corps?

It is coming.. just remember that eventually anyone could be the next "taxi cab" driver with his or her job going away to automation.

Our society will have no choice but to adopt in more ways than one.

That doesn't mean we should forcibly grind all progress to a halt just to avoid hurting feelings or avoid having to go through the uncomfortable process of change.

I, for one, am glad we as a society decided to leg go of our reliance on horse-and-buggy transportation technology.
