Robots and AI will do most jobs by 2040.
Opening6.3
Companies adopt anything that is cheaper and never sleeps, and fifteen years is a long time in tech. For example, every wave of automation moved faster than experts predicted, from farming to factories. That is why I stand on this side.Opening6.8
Plumbers, nurses and carers work in messy real places that robots still find very hard. For example, laws, unions and trust move slower than technology. Being able to automate is not the same as being allowed to. Both points lead to the same place.Rebuttal5.9
You keep coming back to "faster", but that only tells half the story. Laws, unions and trust move slower than technology. Being able to automate is not the same as being allowed to. That matters because it is what happens in practice, not just in theory.Rebuttal7.1
True, happens matters. But it does not decide this debate. Every wave of automation moved faster than experts predicted, from farming to factories. My opponent skipped this, which means their case has a hole in the middle.Closing5.5
The question is not if, it is what humans do next. Remember, agents already handle email, scheduling, support and code. Physical robots are catching up fast. The evidence points one way, and so do I.Closing8.4
AI will change most jobs, but doing most of them by 2040 is a big stretch. Remember, laws, unions and trust move slower than technology. Being able to automate is not the same as being allowed to. For all these reasons, I stand by my side.
