I don't think it's really off-topic at all. One can not admire the advances in robot and AI technology without a tinge of foreboding.
There are two main impediments to the wide use adoption of robot/AI 'labor', in my opinion. The first is capabilities, and the second is cost. As the capability of robots/AI increases, this becomes less and less of an obstacle. The same is true as the costs decrease over time.
I can see in my own job how the company is slowly tinkering with the idea of automating my job and making it obsolete. When I'm asked to give feedback on the current project, I'm always reminded of my father, who traveled to Mexico to train the people who took over when the plant was moved down there. My father was then laid off. I don't know how close I am to suffering a similar fate, but I agree with
@maizefolk that it gives one great incentive to become FI ASAP.
For what it's worth, I kind of see the economy bifurcating into the "large" economy where everything is automated and the "small" economy where much of life is still manual. Of course, as robots and AI get more and more capable and cheaper and cheaper, they will infiltrate the "small" economy ever more.
Perhaps the jobs that people do versus the jobs that robots/AI do will delineate over time, but I doubt it. If everything becomes automated, people will have little work to do. Then what? UBI? Massive jobs projects larger in scale than the New Deal (I'm primarily thinking of the "make work" type jobs, such as one group digs a ditch and the next fills it back it just so they have something to do to justify a paycheck)?
