VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Describe your current and previous schools, and the type of school you wish you were at. Tell me the positives and negatives of each of them.

Nowadays there are many high technologies and they are also upgrading. There are many advantages firstly it can help us to do more things we can’t do we mustn’t do something again and again, they can help us do repeating jobs. Secondly our life will be more convenient, robots can do a lot of things for us. But in my opinion although there are some advantages, but there are more disadvantages. First of all it will make more people lost their job because robots can do these jobs not only faster but also better. Robots wont have any mistakes but people do. Secondly it will make people be very lazy. Some of them will even think the robots will do everything for them. That will completely destroy human being what’s more, if AI develops their own consciousness then maybe it will decide to destroy people and be the ruler of the world. AI is smarter, stronger and faster than us, then what can we do to save ourselves. All in all we don’t really know what will happen next.
