I must guess you haven't watched the video of the OP, if not, I strongly encourage you to do it, you'll see that bot are able to create music undistinguishable of the one made by men and that 45% of today's jobs are on direct threat of automation/bot-isation.

My biggest concern with this is that government will sustain and be impossible to wipe out afterwards. As Stefan said, an increase in liberty result in an increase in state because the state feed itself on the productivity rise of the increase of liberty. Here we face a giant leap in productivity, and an enormous increase of government dependent people, combined the two and you have a bigger state, a more backed state and a much more sustainable state. I wonder what are the thoughts of the FDR community on the subject, it seems like we face inevitable doom. But robots are not only machines. They are intelligent machines, and bot have the ability to learn. As explain in the video posted on top, this is not like the industrial revolution, because the radius of tasks available for automation is not restricted by repetitivity. The "high end" jobs, the creatives jobs, the services jobs face automation, and these are the ones people needed to go into when machines arises. And as Stefan pointed out on the video on Ana Kasparian, the IQ is pretty constant throughout human life, and the bell curve pretty constant in the society(even if peaceful parenting become broadly practiced), a LOT of people would not be able to produce enough to justify their paycheck in the future, even as the productivity of the society as a whole skyrocket. I think people will simply stop making children to reduce this number of unemployable people, but they are rough times ahead. The question is, wich jobs will not be affected and if and how we can escape this zeitgeist like future... [sorry for my bad grammar if there is any, English is not my first language]
