This document on how robots have the potential take all our jobs has me a little nervous.
They cover the average labor oriented jobs that machines have and will continue to take over. However, at around 11 minutes they get into a very personal subject.
Robot’s taking over Creative Jobs
The idea of a program being able to design and launch a website makes me nervous. But when it can also write an article and add photos it makes me question where does it leave human creativity.
I am doubtful that programs and robots will take my job anytime soon. I do wonder what is in store for the next generation of creatives… They will have even more competition to make a living in creative fields.
