      I don’t think a robot will take my job (at least not in my lifetime). Robots are really good at doing specific, repetitive tasks where they can follow rules. They can see patterns or relationships in data that we can’t see. But they aren’t very good at things that require creativity or imagination. Doing philosophy and ethics requires creative thinking that robots aren’t good at (yet).
