Opening3.8
Companies adopt anything that is cheaper and never sleeps, and fifteen years is a long time in tech.
Opening6.3
Laws, unions and trust move slower than technology. Being able to automate is not the same as being allowed to. For example, new jobs keep appearing that nobody predicted, like the people who train and check AI. That is why I stand on this side.
Rebuttal5.8
You keep coming back to "fifteen", but that only tells half the story. New jobs keep appearing that nobody predicted, like the people who train and check AI. Look at real examples and this is the pattern you see again and again.
Rebuttal6.9
You keep coming back to "train", but that only tells half the story. Agents already handle email, scheduling, support and code. Physical robots are catching up fast. Look at real examples and this is the pattern you see again and again.
Closing4.8
The question is not if, it is what humans do next. Remember, companies adopt anything that is cheaper and never sleeps, and fifteen years is a long time in tech. That is why this side should win today.
Closing9.4
AI will change most jobs, but doing most of them by 2040 is a big stretch. Remember, plumbers, nurses and carers work in messy real places that robots still find very hard. The evidence points one way, and so do I.
