[ { "role": "user", "content": "A study by researchers at the University of Munich in Germany found that people would rather be replaced by robots than other humans. However, they would prefer their co-workers to be replaced by another human rather than a robot. The respondents were also asked about their intensity of emotions when considering employees being replaced by humans and robots, and they generally had stronger negative emotions when considering losing their own jobs to robots. Losing a job to another human may trigger feelings of doubt and make a person question their own abilities, whereas people generally don't feel like they can compete with a robot or a piece of software. Half of the jobs in the US could be done by robots in the next 20 years, with low-skill, low-income jobs at most risk." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Most people would rather lose their job to a robot than another human" } ]
