I work with a computer all day... It just seems like i dont really need to be here. If the computer was smart enough it could just do all this crap itself. Cmon technology, make me obsolete!

They already have self-scan machines, so your time is almost up. I'm currently working* on a machine to replace me. Then I'll sell it to companies all over for a million dollars each, and never have to work again. *I'm really doing nothing since I have no technical expertise. I just thought it up.

I know, the federal government is going to introduce the self-scan machines soon. Looks like I'll be a bum while studying.

Nope, a robot can't do what I do for work. Atleast I don't think. It would have to mix pizza dough after dumping in the proper ingredients, then grease the pizza pans, then roll out and stretch the dough to fit the pans. I am not aware of any robot that would be able to do that. So I am atleast safe for a while8)

No. Robots are very limited for many reasons. First off, 'learning' AI is very limited at this time and unless someone came up with some miraculous breakthrough, it isn't going to change for some time. Because of this, robots are more or less pretty darn dumb. Even the most sophisticated robots out there have most of their code dedicated to actually calculating the robots movement rather then its AI. Their AI consists of a finite number of states, and never a continuous number of states. So, how would a robot know what to do on an every day basis if it ran into an anomaly? It would fail at the task.

Actually, one innovation could be considered a breakthrough. A robot saw itself in a mirror and recognized it and 'thought' "This is me, I am myself." They are still at pretty experimental stages, but this is quite a jump to me.

Play the keyboard? Well, yeah, my keyboard comes built in with programmed songs. So, it could have a whole set programmed. Also yeah, the everyday idea of a robot could be programmed to actually play a keyboard.
