The threat isn't that robots will kill you, but that they will take your livilihood. If you are a worker in a capitalist society, you should be worried. The analogy is the internal combustion engine vs the horse. What happens when AI advances to the point of matching your general intelligence and learning capacity? If you work in IT, poof, firm management outsources your job to a computer. If the AI is attached to a robot that further matches your dexterity, poof there go most other jobs as well.

Wouldn't that be a good thing? The real issue is, WHEN we no longer need to work to all have a great standard of living, HOW will we work it out.
