Robotics - The Future Shaper or Destroyer?
#11
Sorry for the late reply y'all. I've been extremely busy the past few days and it was difficult even to spare 15 minutes to reply back.

Indeed and that's what first caught my attention... Probably because they're class 8 students, they're tolerating. If the experimentation would've been done with a class 5 kid, the next day no one would have come to school. Wink

Robots with artificial intelligence are the worst thing for the future!
Because they could be programmed to destroy the world!
True they are. Not only do they possess a great threat but also as I'd mentioned they could even take control of the world if humans become too much dependant on robots. For every little thing, it's not necessary we make use of robots, I mean we've stopped doing the other works ourselves. For example, the other day I saw in newspaper, an A.I. based automatic cooking hand, had been made which could start cooking using remote instructions and it could cook over 25 items! Are we do busy these days that we can't even cook? Can we not rest the phone for an hour, taking a break from Facebook and WhatsApp and cook a meal? I certainly feel the events that are following will ultimately lead to transfer of power from humans to bots, if some intelligent decision is not taken immediately.

Take the finance industry for example that wants to force every one to do banking on their phones, whether they're able to do so or not. So they can get rid of live banking. Less clerical jobs. Old people who are vulnerable because they can't work well with phones or auto tellers. Like this whole robotic thing can be both good, but if not checked properly dehumanize people.

@sohamb03 hope that one day when you become an employer you'll always think as you do today and don't get divorced from society like the current members of boards of banking institutions have become. Their workers are almost treated like robots without being robots, and they're investing maximum technology to robotosize their banks.
I'll @deanhills, and in fact I'm completely against the concept of complete automation. This is very irritating. You are just depriving humans of their jobs, their right to earn, have a shelter and afford the basic amenities, and then you go about the world spreading messages of humanity. Which form of humanity are you then practising? For instance, our Prime Minister insists on people doing online transactions and going cashless, and when people complain of dearth of jobs, he says there aren't enough companies in India to employ all the millions. Thus basically you're causing companies to shut down or lower employees using automation and then you're spreading messages of humanity and brotherhood! What the heck?

Decreasing jobs and feeding people are not something I worry too much about - the jobs lost to robots I believe will open up more opportunities in different areas, mostly creative jobs: writing, photography, music, etc.

I also believe robots made for farming should increase the food production of the planet and feed more people.

What concerns me is that robots have certain weaknesses: namely a limited ability to adapt. Their dependence on electricity could also a major downfall.

As food production grows more homogenized, with more farms producing the same types of food, we become vulnerable to disaster. Evolution could greet us with a fungus or insect that feeds heavily on corn and rice for example, and the robot farmers that only know how to grow one thing one way may not be able to overcome. A massive solar flare, like the one that knocked out the world's electrical grid in the 1800s could wipe the disc of every computer on the planet and be catastrophic to our modern dependence on robots.

I believe the solution lies in simpler methods that kept people alive in ancient times. Every school might want a gardening class, or educate students on foraging in the wild. Local farms could return to a variety of foods grown rather than a single crop, and begin restoring the diversity we had 200 years ago. Homes subject to cold environments might include a wood stove or fireplace.

I see no problems with a robotic workforce as long as systems are in place to protect us against robotic failure and human dependence.
I don't think I need to say anything else to justify my idea. I'm not against a robotic workforce, I'm against a complete robotic workforce. You can't replace humans in every sphere of your life and employ robots there. As I'd said earlier they're good slaves, but bad masters. You can't think of A.I. replacing human intelligence cuz remember, these multipurpose, powered by A.I., blah blah blah blah, and you list ten other features, remember ultimately the human mind integrated them into one piece, it's human intelligence that made them from scratch.

So, it's important what kind of robots are you talking about. Robots that make mundane tasks = good, robots that replace humans in some complicated task that humans would ALWAYS be better at = bad. Of course, humans make robots, so I think they wouldn't be so stupid to make something that makes their life harder...

Well... humanity developed nuclear weapons and used it against themselves... So I guess it's not that far off! XD
True and they shouldn't. Well not dogs for that matter, robots can do much better tasks than a dog, but a million times lower than what human intelligence can.

You may not like this happen, as it will kill many low-skill jobs, but unavoidably this is our future.
If your trying to accept anything and everything that comes your way, then what difference do you make. Gandhiji said, "Be the change you wanna see in the world". TBH you don't need anyone to say that to make your understand. There are some things which we imbibe gradually. No one needs to teach us that. Similarly, we should try to be a change, cuz remember it will have a direct consequence on our life and our children too, who'll form the future generation. It's definitely avoidable, but these low-skill jobs employ the most percentage of the mass.

I too wish it was so, but definitely the crap shown the movie and real life is completely non-comparable, not even hear the mark of basic comparison. It's your hard work which earn you success in your life, miracles don't come that easy as it is shown in the movies. Yeah, if you're hardworking, miracles will definitely happen in your life. But the movies which portray miracles in anyone and everyone's life, are describing one in a million, just like comparing the number of movies to the number of people in the world. Smile
Sayan Bhattacharyya,
