[QUOTE="dms1972, post: 74013565, member: 325736"] Yes to some extent, I could if I let myself worry unduely about things like that, and have in the past for periods, because of what I have read though less so about AI I would say, but I have given thought to automation as I have done repetitive work in the past, packing work for a small business, which on a larger scale could in theory be automated. The likelihood of a business of the size I was working for introducing machinery to do the task was negligible however. There will always be jobs that require human labour, even on farms where milking and other tasks are automated. While such jobs will require a greater measure of technical acumen that can be learned, there will still be plenty of by "the sweat of the brow" type work. I had an interest in my teens in "expert systems", a form of computerised question and answer program, by which the computer is programmed to ask questions (designed by an expert in the particular field) and to narrow in on an answer. Although work in that field still continues, the drawback has always been that existing experts in any field are already in demand and cannot always spare time to sit with a programmer while he sets up the rules of the expert system The antidote is to anxiety about technology of course is to remember that the God of the Bible is sovereign over the march of technical 'progress', and rest in that knowledge when worried.
