It’s natural to fear the robots, but you’re missing the point
While the march forward with AI has some of us wondering if we will have jobs in 20 years, Jay Morgan, says what we should be thinking about are the creative opportunities.
Three hundred years ago you would most likely have engaged in some kind of craftsmanship or trade.
Maybe you grew crops or bound books. If someone had said that in the future most people would make a living by generating intellectual property by sitting at a desk, you would have said they were mad. The truth is that even these traditional tasks are increasingly being automated.
Once we were able to mechanise industry we were able to focus on science, medicine, academia and engineering, and they flourished.
Yeah, right. How were you supposed to know? Men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up. You think you’re so creative. You don’t know what it’s like to really create something. to create a life. To feel it growing inside you. All you know how to create is death and destruction.
Dont be so sexist Sarah..
If a man said something similar to what you said, for example
“You women don’t know what it’s like to to be the giver of the life force itself – without men you can never get pregnant.”
people would be screaming bloody murder!
Whilst i disagree with a lot of what the columnist wrote, I think you motherhood and lifeforce statement has the ring of the hysterical about it. Women kill their female babies in some countries – women led people into the gas chambers at Auschwitz.
In fact women killing their babies is so common that they get a lesser sentence if they do it in the first 12 months of their baby’s life.
But we accept that people of both sexes sometimes do bad things. We dont blame one gender.

“Some great points here, Jay. KK is right to be somewhat optimistic, however I’ve seen the future and it’s certainly not all beer and skittles. I recommend you watch the satirical children’s cartoon WALL-E for further context. Cheers – I’ll be back”
