For example, you could tell the computer to write the article like Hemingway, and you would think it was written by Hemingway himself. One robot that has been recently developed can watch you do a task and then the robot can do the task exactly like you did over and over again nonstop.

All jobs will be replaced, blue collar, white collar, and professional jobs. These robots are a threat to American jobs and this is a dangerous concept. This is not a problem in the distant future, this is a problem that we will face in the next decade. In order to prevent this problem, we should set in place laws that prevent business owners from going completely automated. If we can prevent total automation, there are still jobs left for people to do, granted, robots will still be highly used in industry, but it will allow for more good production and thus, a greater supply for the demand of goods. A more automized future is not a bad thing, we just
