I agree - He is right that robots will take over jobs, but it is ridiculous to suggest that we should go backwards and beg employers to choose humans over robots. Instead, automation will bring about a new standard of wealth and living - people won't have to focus on the "boring" jobs anymore. This has already happened with farming - the US used to be 50 percent farmers, now it is less than 2 percent. With enough automation, food and housing could be "free" - at least for the basic standard of living (I'm not preaching communism). The real problem will be how to control population growth once food and housing are taken for granted. At least, thats the only feasible solution I see moving forward, I have no idea how else you would cater to "unskilled" workers without moving backwards.
