I also agree with this, but I think there is a need to slow the replacement, by a bit, to reduce the short term societal harm and allow society to catch up. Robots can’t do the jobs if society collapses due to unrest.

Progress is great obviously, but progress as fast as possible with no care about the consequences is more motivated by money, not the common good.

What you mean you don’t want to take a Great Leap Forward?

A Great Leap Forward is what you get when you give a few fanatical ideologues too much power. I don't see anything in my history book about robots or AI being connected with that. They seem like different topics altogether.

Uh, have you seen the US lately? I think that ship has sailed.

Well, we're certainly taking a Great Leap, so that part checks out at least.
