Soo... My first English assignment was to read, the short-story, The Pedistrian by Ray Bradbury. It was allhrite. In that story it seemed that computers took just about all the jobs in the world. Is that a plausible idea? Will computers eventually lay off too many jobs?
The three things computers are better than humans at: 1. They are faster 2. They do not forget 3. They are more accurate
In order to be able to perform all the jobs in the world, AI would have to be intelligent as humans. That will be difficult to attain. Though with the advances seen so far, it is plausible. I don't see this happening anytime soon.
Are we talking robots or computers??? There is a slight difference.
AI would have to be intelligent as humans
Unless you make many different types that are specifically built for that one job, then they wouldn't need such extensive thinking capabilities like some iRobot bit where you have robots that can seemingly do anything and everything...even dream.
Computers themselves may one day be able to do these things, if we set our minds to it, it is very possible we can do anything, not to go to out of boundries, though.
We can: reproduce Drink booze. eat. dance jump. fly. see. Use weapons, the list goes on...
Humans cannot fly, they can create machines that fly, however. Drinking eating are simple functions a machine could do if equipped properly, same as dancing, jumping, and seeing. Weapons? The Terminator seemed to have no trouble using weapons ^^. It's all a matter of design and programming...
Computers will need to have the self capacity to learn, reason, plan etc. So far, progress is slow into making that happen.
May be a good thing, the more we rely on computers, the less we have to do ourselves, and that just leads to more stupidity, in a way >_<

Though some specific jobs require human-like intelligence.
I'm guessing all this will be true in thousands of years. I'm not really sure. All I know is that I'll be dead by the time that happens.
Hmmmm, millions of years, thousands? I think we're overshooting a bit, but that's just me. It's not impossible to create robots now [duh], it's just there's no real use for them at their current level.
Unless you can find me something that robots can't do that humans can, I can't really say it does.
The list doesn't go on, a robot can do anything especially if it's modeled after life [say human robot modeled after, well, a human]. A humanoid robot built exactly like a human, but composed of atoms rather than cells, could probably do the exact same things as it's fleshy counterpart. You just need to design it right.
