> By 2015, the chess program Stockfish could defeat the strongest human-computer partnerships 100% of the time. From that point onward, humans only got in the way. Human-robot partnerships for performing labor will follow exactly the same pattern.

Wow, how convincing -- NOT! Just dogmatic statements with no substance. The comparison might be illustrative but you still need to argue why it has enough parallels. And in this case I think you are way out of wack. Just think of Moravac's paradox -- which doesn't apply in chess, but does in the real-world!

I think the more relevant question is, will we have democracy, or not. If not then benefits of AI will go to the few, not for everybody.
