I think this times it's different. Unless we all do jobs that robots just cannot do.eg. caring for each other.

But robots are already doing caring jobs. That's how Japan deals with its demographics - more Very Old people than anywhere else.

Yes, but I do think that, in this case, humans do a better job than robots.

I'd say perhaps quite the opposite. Humans may do a great caring job within human limitations, but stretch them too far - the professional carer with more desperate clients than hours in the day, or the 24/7 job on someone who needs their own life and to earn a living - and robots scale much better.

Anyway, it was only an example. I'm sure there are others.

It was your example.

I think the link below may support your argument Snorvey. I enjoyed it when I was younger, but now I'm not so sure .

Because the Little Old Lady needed help crossing?
