They said this about computers too. They said that offices will be filled full of computers, and there will be no need for people. Well they were wrong.

We are getting closer, however. With AI.... Pretty soon we won't need cab drivers or truck drivers. We won't need garbage men; This will be automated too. With less drivers on the road we'll need less police officers on the freeways, no more gas stations....

Eventually we will go to Universal Income.
