No way, someone will always be needed to fix the robots/machines. These people are going to be needed to fix the robots that fix the robots. This site is wack no one can predict the future, the world may end tomorrow for all we know.

LOL, who are the people answering this survey? If automation and AI take over like it probably will, literally the last people left with jobs will be the people who know how to install, program, and maintain the machines. Eventually, even this function will be replaced by machines, but by then, none of us will be working.
