Computers actually did replace human computers (literally the origin of the word, people who sat all day and did math).
But now we're creating artificial minds. And I haven't heard a good argument why they can't replace humans pretty much everywhere.
Human minds are limited by the size of the skull. Digital minds don't have that limitation. They can, seemingly, be arbitrarily large (and maybe arbitrarily smart, as a result).

Everyone who says AI will replace humans conveniently ignores the fact that Homo sapiens is the only member of the Homo genus left because we out-smarted, out-bred, and, especially, out-killed all the others. And we (collectively, at least, not individually) know where the AI’s power hookups are.

- dragonwriter 3y agoYeah, don't do that. Just in case.
