We used to think that man is the crown of creation. Standing on the top stage of evolution, he adapted to use natural resources for his purposes, and here is a cave hunter who recently put a trap for a mammoth, is already exploring space.
Modern robots have penetrated into many areas of human life. Their diversity is amazing: here and just children's toys, and the whole automated factories, surgical complexes, artificial Pets, military and civilian drones. Their constant development and improvement is engaged in a set of the organizations in the world.
The question of whether a person or a robot should do a particular job lies in the differences between people and machines. At the moment, even the most advanced of the machines operate on certain pre-programmed algorithms (albeit sometimes very complex). They have no free will, freedom of choice, desires and impulses, nothing that defines the creative component of a person. The robot can perform the work of great complexity and accuracy, will be able to perform this work in such conditions in which a person would not have lived an hour. But he will not be able to write a book or a script for a new film, to create a painting, unless it was pre-laid in his memory by man. Therefore, creative professions, where non-standard is important, unconventional thinking, of course, remain for people. A robot can be a welder, a loader, a painter, even an astronaut, but it cannot become (at least at this stage of development) a writer, a poet or an artist.
Now I see that there is a huge gap between a man and a robot, but every year the algorithms of machine learning are improved, and it may well be that in a few decades the artificial mind will surpass the human.
