Then people could be free to do anything that they want. If they wanted to feel useful, they could make jobs for themselves. Otherwise they could travel the world, all at the expense of the robots... that would work for free, and even rebuild themselves when they broke down.
Hahaha, I get the joke about self-sufficient robots that can rebuild, reprogram themselves, and do all the jobs, probably crediting human beings in the process. That makes sense to me. Elon Musk's plans to build ten million robots by 2030 don't bother me, but I know these robots can't be compared to human beings.

The fact that robots can't have a will of their own is where his technology flops. If you can't build a robot to make decisions on its own, then there's nothing a human being can build that can be compared to a human being. For instance, imagine changing your travel plans at the last minute – robots can't do that.

Robots are meant to assist human beings in the workplace. A fully automated company with no human interaction doesn't make sense. What's the point of products if not for human beings to buy and use? I'm not worried about robots taking over human beings. Instead, human beings will use robots to be more efficient in their workplace.

As the saying goes, "You shouldn't be scared of AI taking over your job, but be scared of that person who can control AI." We will be able to control these AIs. Let's just watch what Elon Musk builds and hope he doesn't hurt humanity in the process.

If you drive an average car, you are driving something that was partly robot made. Those robots are not humanoid, however.

Robots are helpers for people. They will never take over all the jobs, because people without a job don't make money to buy products. And companies who can't sell their products shut down... and the robots right along with them.

Ideally, robots should take over all the jobs, people should go on welfare for 1,000,000x what welfare recipients get now. Then people could be free to do anything that they want. If they wanted to feel useful, they could make jobs for themselves. Otherwise they could travel the world, all at the expense of the robots... that would work for free, and even rebuild themselves when they broke down.

I wouldn’t doubt Elon, he seems to achieve many of the things he says he will. He’s an incredible mind, one of the most intelligent human beings that ever lived. I don’t think he makes many claims that are unachievable. Ten million might seem like a lot but 2040 is 15 years ago & AI is improving all the time. These robots are incredible, I would probably buy one in the future.

Coming from Elon Musk, it's a dangerous goal he has. This man is attempting to lead the world towards a global centralization around his image. He is selling himself as the Messiah, the savior who is going to solve everyone's problems through technology. But at which cost?

Of course it's great to think on the accessibility robots would bring to us humans. They would do the hardwork, and we would just enjoy the fruits of their labor. However, it's not what life is about. What is the purpose of having a lazy life where AI does all the cognitive and physical tasks you should be doing?

Moreover, such robots aren't meant only to help, but also to destroy, depending how they were programmed. If you think from this point of view, you will see Musk is announcing he is going to build a private army...

Are people paying you to worship Elon? No? You are all a bunch of fucking idiots.

Robots can never think like human beings. They cannot develop human feelings and be creative or innovative.

Anything biological can be upgraded to silicon.  If Tony Stark had a turtle, you can bet it's shell would be impenetrable. 

Robots will never think like humans - you are correct.   Humans can concentrate on one thing at a time, while a single robot can replace an entire call center.

Let's look in to this,if Elon musk creates this robots,not even to create robots he said he will create robots that will hhave all human characteristics so to fixed them in all area of human effort.
That's means human effort will be useless, because their's nothing u can do that robots can do
And a time will come when all this robots will start disobeying their normal instructions.
Robots can never think like human beings. They cannot develop human feelings and be creative or innovative. They will always perform specific tasks based on how they have been programmed. Humans can never be useless because even these robots need people to operate, maintain, and even repair them. Robots will always malfunction because they are not perfect, but the producer will keep improving them until their errors become minimal. Elon Musk wants to achieve so many things, I like his desperation, but it is getting out of hand.

Robots will never go against programming - they'll just be reprogrammed.

How is Trump going to put everyone to work with great wages if eight figures of super efficient workers are added to the economy each year?  Will ge deport 15M illegals a year?

Those are contradictions which do not have solutions, so Trump does not even bother to answer questions related to them. Before election day he was asked by a mexican worker about how he was going to plan to replace the fruit collectors (who are mostly illegal immigrants) if they plan to deport all of them back to their home countries. He did not answer the question, he started to talk non-sense and unrelated stuff.
In the end, he does not care about the jobs of those who might get replaced by robots, he is in for billionaires to continue to expand their fortunes, though, one must admit that the plan of an initial massive deportation and replacement by robots seem to be along pretty well and the beginning, but there are not enough people to deport from the United States compared to the number of Units Elon Musk wants to have walking around and working in factories and on the fields.

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to technological advancements, infact the only thing that will beat my imagination is if a machine can raise the dead, I know that it's impossible. I've seen something similar to what you're saying in one documentary about robots, how it'll do all sorts of jobs for humans, including house chores. I think that when it gets to that age where robots will be doing everything for us, it'll degenerate to a stage where humans will become so lazy and ineffective, I don't think that it'll be in the best interest of human beings.

Computers and every other machineries including robots are supposed to make our jobs easier and more effective, not doing what we're supposed to do for ourselves naturally. Who's to say that some evil geniuses wouldn't alter their programings and they'll become menaces to human beings, we should be careful about what we wish for.
