Hi make50vet,

This is the question that people were considering for centuries now. Check Luddites movement at the beginning of industrial revolution more than 200 years ago – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite. We are always scared of new things as they, at least in our minds, can be dangerous (you never know what sits in that dark corner).
It is very important question, too. We have to ask ourselves what we want for our future to be. One side of the story is what technically is possible, the other what we should do with those possibilities. I believe that simple, repetitive jobs will be fully automatized and some of them should be especially where they are hazardous. Machines and software traditionally was always good at repetitive tasks and that often means mass production – think car factory etc. Even though we have Toyotas people still make Rolls-Royces where most of the parts are hand-crafted.
People are good at solving unpredictable, creative problems. In fact AI (I am not an expert) is drawing its solution from the pool of pieces of solutions that already have seen (it is called learning or training of an AI). What is particularly interesting is how human mind came up with a wheel – there is no animals with wheels in the future. So this creative process is quite unique to humans for now at least. I think we work on AI to understand ourselves better – how we think, how we love and hate each other. I am father and I try to teach my children good things, just like most likely your parents do. We need to teach AI good things and help it to grow to be “good AI”.
Yes, AI will take over some of the more mundane tasks for the simple reason it is cheaper, does not get sick and can work 24hours 7days a week.
Drones, this is complicated, I do not think that drones will be the future of deliveries in the cities anytime soon. Too much complicated regulatory problems there – what happens when drone hurts somebody, who is responsible – the same applies to self-driving cars.
