For now. Technology is expanding exponentially, but regardless of how steep the curve becomes, it can only get smaller as it grows faster.
I love these conversations. No opinion is right or wrong. Most often they're both. It's like speed vs time vs observation of time.
Cool!
Cool!

My kids have told me that there will be machines working the land before I pass on, I told them bulls crap, no machine would risk everything it was made for to just lose money...
Human nature while diverse and evolving, when observed in situ appears static. Fewer people adapt rapidly than adapt due to external forces and over as long a timeline as they're allowed. To quote The Day The Earth Stood Still, "at the precipice we change".
People will push back until resisting change is noticeably more detrimental than changing themselves. The genie is out of the bottle and there's no putting it back. Tech will continue to improve and people have to decide whether it's more important to resist the inevitable or work to adapt with it.

The socialist progressives are pushing for an universal pay system which will pay for the basics of life and if you want more you go to work.
At the Government mandated pay scale of credits per hour of course! There will no longer be cash! You will have a bar code tattoo that will read whether you can make a purchase or not.
Just like Revelations in the bible. The mark of the beast!

There are some interesting things going on in the world of agriculture. The current situation with the rising cost of lettuce due to the CA spring rains makes ideas like this even more intriguing.The man said Farmers, he said farmers.......
All that technology and robots will be useless when we get hit with a solar flare / EMP. That's when the real SHTF occurs, especially if robots have replaced critical human activities like farming, medical procedures / pharmaceuticals, and trucking / transportation.
Some folks confuse sci-fi with real-world AI development. IMO, you won't see a Star Trek type robot (such as "Data") in this century, and probably not in the next several. Current technology can't begin to approach the cognitive intelligence of animals (much less a human).
Cognitive AI is the major hurdle here. Without it, robots are just machines, basically subject to programmed-in variables (no matter how many layers in their neural networks). These systems simply can't deal with unknown situations.
As usual, just my 2¢ ...

I lean your direction regarding AI. I think it will be factory assembly jobs, taxi / Uber / bus / over the road freight jobs, and other similar jobs that are at risk. I know they are already experimenting with self ordering machines at fast food restaurants, and self check-out at mega box stores; not to mention online ordering and delivery to your doorstep, possibly utilizing a drone. Sam's even has an app now that I use to scan an item and put it in the basket. When done shopping I just hit the pay button and skip the register all together. This is jut an example of things to come that could eliminate many jobs in the future.
