Further Thinking
Q1:Do you think robots will replace humans one day?
Why do you think so?
I don’t think robots will replace humans one day. Because humans have creativity and emotional intelligence. For example,we can make friends, love others, but robots just follow programs.
Maybe robots will replace humans in some simple jobs, like factory work or cleaning. But they can’t replace us in jobs needing human connection, such as teaching or nursing.
