Humans VS Robots: Which is better for work?
Hi I am accomplished_reality and I am here to talk about if robots could replace humans in the world of work, and how it would affect people.
Should robots replace humans?
No:
Robots cannot replace humans for many reasons. Number one is that they are more likely to make mistakes, and could result in big mistakes that could cost lots of money for the company. Another reason even though it is quite small is that they use electricity, which not only costs lots of money but is bad for the environment. Even if robots didn't make mistakes and we replaced them with humans then the humans that work for companys will be kicked out of their jobs, and will therefore have a lot less money because there is no where for them to work. This would also mean that if people didn't work, you could argue that we have no purpose and could also mean that people have nothing to do and could cause a lot of havoc. Also, robots cannot look after babys and children like a human can.
Yes:
Robots would be great to replace humans. They are reliable, faster, stronger, and they don't need to be paid to work. Yes there is a small cost for electricity, but you pay a lot less than if you were paying humans, plus, they can work all the time, and are faster. They are capable of doing things that humans can't do, like lifting heavy objects, and plus, who doesn't like a bit of Siri and Alexa? They are more cost efficent, and are unlikely to make mistakes. If we swapped humans for robots we could have automated systems for everything, and people wouldn't even need to work. They can run forever, even during the night, and these could make a huge difference with society.
How could this affect people?
If robots were to replace humans, there would be a few problems. First, like I mentioned earlier, the humans that work in these jobs would be kicked out as they are no longer need, which could potentially result in people having nothing to do and causing mischeif. This next is a bit extreme, but it could even cause savageity (if that is even a word) throughout the human race and also competetion for resources as no one has money to buy things. So, like I said that was a bit extreme, but this is why robots should not replace humans.
Feel free to answer my question in the comments: Do you think that robots would make better workers than humans, and if so how much better?
Thanks for reading,

A good question, accomplished_reality. It's a broad question and probably one that requires distinctions between jobs. One question for you - which jobs in particular do some of your strengths and weaknesses apply to?

i think humans should not be replaced by robots for many reasons like …
the robots would need electricity to work / run so humans would be burning more coal and producing toxins that are bad for the planet
What if robots ran on clean, renewable energy, polite_jackfruit?
is robots ran on electricity that would not need replacing buy humans id say that robots should not be able to take over humans jobs because no-one would need to clean then, reboot there energy so it would create no more jobs

This is a really good post in my opinion I don’t really think humans should get replaced by robots because number one Imagine if the Robots get out of control imagine if they start destroying things number two robots can be used in good ways For example in some countries they have Started to develop robots to work in places like restaurants cafés e.g Number three in my opinion robots would work a little bit better in a shopping centre or a supermarket because they could work as a cashier or they could be a help in the shopping centre. If robots worked as a cashier it would be really helpful because the line would move much efficiently and quicker also people will be keeping safe from the virus because they will not be touching those as much as how. A robot. Does
In my opinion all I want to conclude and say is that I think robots can be used but not replaced by humans and if robots Are being used they should only be used in good ways and responsible places such as restaurants gyms e.g Hope you like the reading this decisive_redcurrant

I've got my head spinning, so robots will be good for the world of work but not for a stable society because people don't get paid. Actually now that I think about it, we need a stable society 😅

I think humans are better than Robots for work because we are at school, and if we want to get a jobs than we need to do our best. How are we meant to get jobs, learn and grow if robots are taking over? Yes, we make mistakes but that is okay because we can learn for them. If robots are programmed to be perfect all the time them they won't think about what the could try and improve. Robots don't have hearts but we do we have been given this beautiful World to look after and to care for, and we want to change it... not the robots. So I think we can make the world a better place by US, HUMANS creating a difference!
Thank You

A very impassioned mini-speech, gregarious_moon, and a great example of speaking up for what you believe! Could a robot ever have a human-like ability to "want" to make a positive difference?
I mean for
Well, robots will never have hearts but they can do very clever things
thank you fore the star
Do you think one day, scientists might be able to make robots with hearts, gregarious_moon?
Maybe, but their hearts will never be as important as human hearts

I would think that robots can replace humans but partly because sometimes robots can malfunction which makes them do the wrong thing but humans can't malfunction so it will be easier. Also, some people who don't like the job can move on and their job can be replaced by a robots, and in turn, if the robot stops working, someone can fill in while the robot is charging.

I think that human shouldn’t have to give up their job and give it to robots because humans need to be paid to buy their essentials and pay their bills. Also robot could easily break.

I think robots shouldn't replace humans because humans get their money from jobs and if the robots take over their jobs, the people of the world will become broke and only the company owners will be rich.

I do agree with your reasons, although it will be cheaper for the company to run whatever they are doing, they don't need to pay the robots, which means they can have better upgrades.
But, humans are also better because they can spread kindness to the people they are serving, or online through a screen.

I think humans are better than robots because humans have to program the robots also can malfunction.humans made robots to be so technical

I do not think humans should be replaced by robots because robots could make even more mistakes than a human would and humans would be able to be kind as robots could malfunction or combust.
