What a lot of people forget is that machines have been takin ur jerbs for centuries. Think of all those poor monks who lost their bible copying jobs when Gutenberg invented his printing press. The problem is that people think that just because the machines are increasing our productivity in thinking, that somehow magically they are going to be able to replace the spark of inspiration that we have, something that is inherently nonlinear and beyond the realms of predictable. In fact, what will happen is simply that computers will stop us having to do the tedious thinking and let us focus on the inspiration part, and the machine will do all that hard work of making it orderly. When machines can outperform our brains in logical thought, our brains can focus on creative, nonlinear thought. Which is a lot more fun. And machines won't replace us, they will be added to us, as they always have been, and what we call the pinnacle will be us+machines, not a competition between us and machines. This dramatically changes the picture.
