Humans, You're Fired

"Humans, You're Fired!" I can hear Donald Trump now. And well, that's about right I'd say, as artificial intelligence is here, and "IT" is here to stay!

Not long ago, there was another one of those popular type futuristic articles about robots, this one posted on MSN titled "Nine Jobs that Humans May Lost to Robots - Downside: A Replicant May be Watching Your Kid; Upside: Fewer Lawyers," by Judith Aquino of "Business Insider" which was posted on March 21, 2011.

Humans, You're Fired! Yes, consider all the jobs that robots will be doing in the future? Robots will be replacing human workers, because they are not needed any longer, they just aren't, and it's already happening.

When I read that article it made me think how many humans just don't get it, and even the human author of that popular little online article didn't grasp what she was saying. Only 9 jobs, which will be replaced by AI in the future? How about all of the jobs, yes, including the CEO, CFO, President, and Chairman of the Board too I'd say.

You see, the CEOs will be replaced by AI decision matrix robotic systems, along with the pilot in command, as airline pilots will be replaced with robotic AI systems. Yes, and bus drivers, taxi cab drivers, train conductors, ferry pilots, ship captains. Look you folks will just no longer be needed I tell you.

And I bet you creative folks think your job is covered and that you can never be replaced by a replicant, wrong again my friend! Because writers, reporters, artists, designers, architects, and engineers too will all be replaced by artificial intelligence, it's already happening. Don't believe me? Email me, because I can give you examples going back over a decade now.

Think you are safe with your cushy service job? Oh you wish, for instance; mail men, road builders, dog walkers, dog groomers, garbage truck drivers, Fast Food workers, Starbucks drink baristas, food processors, astronauts, well, hate to break the news to you, but you are all out of here.

Okay so, the author of that article is partly correct and I think if we were honest and sat down for an hour brainstorming where this is all headed we'd see that we don't need humans for all these jobs so maybe we should be producing fewer of them, not robots, humans.

Oh no, did I offend you my little human friend? Well, it's your own fault, humans are slackers, complainers, protestors, and problematic for work flow, so they'll have to step aside for the more efficient computers in the future. Please consider this, because you are not needed.
