There is little doubt automation is becoming more of a piece of the picture. We see here a Press Release about companies that are dedicated to automating the last mile of deliveries in the UK.

Yes but I think I heard a few people mention that technology should produce more jobs. I don't think so because eventually automation will get everywhere and AI will be used to adapt to situations.

In the past that was true. And maybe long term it will.

However, in the next 10-15 years, I think we will see the reverse. In fact, I could make the case we already are although people do not realize it. They do not understand that losing their retail job was due to tech. Or the mall closing. Or a host of other things that if we follow the path, we see leads to some disruptive technology.

I wonder if the programmers will get automated out of the system eventually.

Self programming AI is already floating about a bit. I would say that it will advance to the point where we can just have an idea and get it coded.

I believe I saw some experiments in that field already. AI generating a base code and human programmers just trimming and adding some final touches. I'll have to see if I can find it

It is happening. I am sure it is taking place in alot more areas than we are told about.

Like anything. the capabilities just keep growing.

I believe the net effect will be positive in the long-term. But a lot of people will lose their jobs in the short term and a good bit of the unskilled force will have trouble finding new jobs.

Long term technology tends to improve things.

Very few would say the world was better 50 years ago. We came a long way since then.

Now we are about to accelerate the rate of change far beyond what we had before. This is going to radically alter the make up of society. What is affected remains to be seen.
