But the number of people needed to fulfill certain tasks will continually drop as we develop more robots and more AI. A whole logistics chain that used to keep a million people employed, may only need 1000 people to keep the system going.

Right. But I was responding to the claim that robots will do everything. Once you make a more reasonable prediction that robots will replace some humans in some jobs then I think we can have an interesting conversation. As robots take on manufacturing, I'm more worried about the political instability of Asia than anything else. It's manufacturing base could be decimated as factories move closer to consumers in higher wage nations due to automated manufacturing making it economical again.
