Do robots live up to human expectations?
Since there has been a new topic I have been wondering do robots live up to our expectations? I think that some robots do and some don't .
why do they not live up to our expectations?
Think about it there is a robot that builds cars . This robot has been programmed wrong . It has been programmed to put the pieces in what was thought to be the right places but is really the wrong . Everyone thinks that they are right . It gets taken for a test drive and is fine. When sold they go driving on the moterway then they go 10,000 miles and the steering wheel gose really hard to move . Then they look at the programming and find out that it is wrong the whole time . This also could affect loads of other cars . Also this may mean that millions of people get made redundant or fired because their job would get taken over by robots . It means that they could go homeless if they can not find a job.
why do they live up to our expectations?
Swich board operators
This job was created by a technology revolution the days of manual telephone switchboards are gone. In the olden days a switchboard operator would have to physically connect calls by inserting phone plugs into the relevant cables . They would also be able to participate in the call. In the largest exchanges, supervisors whizzed around to keep up with all of their staff. Switchboard operators still exist within organisations today, although the systems are completely computerised.
Bowling pin collector
We often take for granted the fact that all bowling alleys have machines to pick up our fallen pins and put them back in an organised way - as well as computers keeping track of our scores on a screen . earlier times, a bowling alley pinsetter would be waiting at the end to pick up all the knocked-down pins and put them back in place. It could be a dangerous job if the players weren't paying attention!
so in clonclusion they could but they can sometimes do better than other robots
what side would you take ?

Thank you for this discussion starter, magical_clarinet! This is making me wonder about what our expectations of robots actually are. What does everyone else think we should expect from robots in the future of work?

I feel that robots won't be like humans because all they really are is a piece of metal with computers inside of it! And I really hope that robots won't replace like hotel workers because they won't be very welcoming and fun. But I do get that they want robots because they don't want to pay people which is fair enough but it just isn't right...

I think there should be two robots in a factory/company. One would be there to make the product and the other to check everything was made correctly so the manager or owner of the company/factory would have less chance of being homeless.

I think you are right humans do there jobs great but if a robot did it well it is dangerous
True
make sure you give a reason for your response!

I don't think robots are good, I think people have too make mistakes sometimes.

I don't really think robots could be humans either because there is this quiz on burnet news club and it said that there was a robot who was trying to be a chef for some weird reason and it accidentally thought that a reporters hand was a piece of ham and it cut it of by accident :0 so I don't think robots would be good humans from that text,
Well done for using evidence to support your idea!

I think it might be good to use robots sometimes but not all the time

well robots could just mess up because once a robot was making something and then thought the mans hand was ham. plus humans aren't made with wires we have a brain which makes us smart

I feel robots are good and bad at the same time since they can take some of the rough jobs so humans don’t have to do them but that they are even doing jobs for us might not be that good because people have already been fired and replaced by robots.
What do you think people who "have already been fired and replaced by robots" should do, glad_didgeridoo? Is there a solution for these people?

I hope we don't get replaced by robots, they have a higher risk of failure.
Do you think this will always be the case, funny_reindeer?

Hopefully robots don't replace people who work in shops because robots aren't really that good at working and because it might go to a bit failure.

To a big a failure
