      I hope not.
      We are going to have to change the way we work as robots do more jobs for us.
      But that should allow us humans to do more interesting and enjoyable work.
      Robots will do what they are designed and programmed to do: they are not free, like we are.
      So we decide what they are, and will be, and should do.

      I don’t think so – I think, if anything, they’ll help us – medically, infrastructurally, and robots can do things that humans can’t
