What are your thoughts about robots doing certain jobs rather than humans?

I didn't fully read this article but skimmed it - seemed repetitive

Robots will destroy some jobs and create others. I am less negative about this process than I was in the past, since I think it will be mostly repetitive and dangerous works robots will take over.

Moreover, I think the need to be creative not to be surpassed by AI may help our minds to overcome the stagnation in intelligence they are going through.

@Cierzo I'm sure it would create other jobs and kill some. Repetitive and dangerous jobs are some peoples' livelihoods, though. Would the change actually push people to learn other skills? How would that work in certain geographic areas?

@Phire1 I believe need will push people to learn other skills.
Another thing to keep in mind is that robotisation will not happen at the same level everywhere. In underdeveloped countries dangerous works are likely to be still done manually.

@Cierzo Even in the U.S.

@Cierzo For one example, people in the Appalachian area

@Phire1 In big countries like the US different areas will not be probably affected by robotisation in the same level.

@Cierzo Have you checked out the Appalachian area? (it's just one example)

@Phire1 I am not American, and do not know how things are there

@Cierzo Oh, ok
