Ohh, I see your point. I think you're glomming together "the future" without being precise about the level of AI. You don't need human level intelligence to replace drivers, factory workers, etc. Human dexterity and vision are two aspects that are really hard to replicate that have nothing to do with strong AI. They will be solved first. So when I talk about robots displacing jobs, I mean robots that are more capable than today's generation, but not necessarily a super AI. That's why the comparison with chimps was confusing: we were talking about different kinds of robots. As for strong AI, I don't think it is going to be an "us" vs. "them". Humans will not only demand the best intelligence advancement medicine will offer, but will also try to merge with computer intelligence seamlessly. It isn't going to be humans with guns vs. super smart robots with lasers. It is going to be strong AI with humans that are machine enhanced. The creative professionals in that future are all going to be part machine. This isn't going to happen very soon. At least a few decades. The disruption from capable robots will start within 10 years.
