Can a robot replace me?
I recently had a weird situation at work. A team of experts has created a robot that has the purpose of doing one part of the work that I do. I do my job with a team of about 10 people. The robot is programmed to do a part of our work that is "clean" and that has no errors in its process that would have to be corrected manually. These are some perfect situations in which everything goes according to the rules and they are rare, but they still exist and we, the people, don't have to deal with them anymore, because the robot does it for us.
I don’t know why but I wasn’t happy when this happened although I should be. I should be happy because it is good that processes are improving and that we turn to innovations and artificial intelligence in order to make our work better. Artificial intelligence has been doing a great job in our society and has good uses, but it can also be abusive, which society should be aware of. Artificial intelligence systems affect the way we communicate, trade, work, and live. They help us in various key areas. They can train to influence people's behavior and decision-making process, although, for now, in limited and rather abstract circumstances but life without artificial intelligence becomes unthinkable.
And that should be accepted as part of the reality we live in and not as something we need to deny or fight against. Man has made a machine and cannot fight against something he has made himself even though he surpasses himself in his inventions.
But my question is, "can my new colleague "robot" replace me?" Since it shortened the time of a certain part of the job, it also reduced the number of people who come to work.
In the morning, instead of talking to a colleague drinking morning coffee or tea, I had to turn on the robot to work. I was alone, in silence. I am afraid that artificial intelligence will bring more silence to the world and that we may lose our purpose in existence. We may be less needed. Maybe our survival will be threatened.
What do you think? Can robots replace us?
Thank you very much for reading.

This is possible. Artificial intelligence can replace humans in many, if not all, industries. It can even do a better job than humans. Moreover, it will not be costly for companies. Human workers are very costly. That's why I think that with the new laws, every artificial intelligence should be paired with a human. For example, the person with whom the artificial intelligence is matched can be paid for the work done. It's just the economic side of things. It is necessary to find new hobbies for idle people so that they can make use of their spare time. Because I think if people have too much free time there will be chaos.
On the other hand, I don't think you should worry. Because no artificial intelligence can replace a Jeka :)
