  > Having seen how little many humans care about other peoples aging parents under their care, I'm not so sure robots would be a huge step down. Which is an issue. It's the old addage: I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you. If the robots are only maginally better than the humans, then they will out compete the human workers and we will have robots that may still be very bad at doing the task; potential failure all the same and with bad patient outcomes. > So in the future we'll probably see a human and a robot doing what used to take 3-5 humans, In Chess, these amalgams are called 'centaurs' and they consistently outpreform humans and/or the best computer programs. It's a good idea in chess, as most centaurs are made with very good human players. It's when the humans start to rely on the computers that you get into real trouble.
