Reading over this, i don't see an expected time frame. If this is anticipated to occur within the next five years, it's a problem. If it's expected to occur over the next fifty years, then it's not a big deal.

This looks like clickbait BS.

I looked at their source, willrobotstakemyjob.com, and it seems like their methodology is jobs which could conceivably be automated sometime in the future, knowing what we know now about technology and the way in which it's progressing. So the timeframe is super loose, that's a valid point.

If the job can be replaced by a kind of technology, and the technology exists, why you think they will wait 50 years to replace?
