You said robots would be building and programming themselves in 20 years.
A. Robots don't do anything "by themselves".
B. If they did, the skills and dexterity needed to do everything involved in manufacturing robots are light years beyond moving boxes.
C. If they had the intellectual and fine motor skills to complete all the tasks involved, robots lack money to buy factories and raw materials.
D. More flaws I'm not going to spend the time to think of.
No one doubts that people who move boxes or run a drill press are in danger of losing their jobs to robots, that's been going on for decades.
What we're discussing is your laughable assertion robots will be building themselves from the ground up within 20 years.
