Replacing labor workers with machines

Well, that is why it is better to make them do labor than intelligent works. Making them do labor requires robots to be skilled in one field but doesn't require them to be sentient. Being sentient would mean that the world will either be communism if we can even stop them and make peace with them and dystopia if we can't consider how fast machines are learning. 

You seem only to be regarding this issue in the present tense though.

When I was your age, automation of labour was sci-fi and things such as smartphones and digital technology were unheard of.

It's therefore foolish to underestimate the rate and possibilities of techno-development.

And religion is the stuff of humans and maybe technology will achieve the god principle....We can only speculate.

Well, I am. I know the present but I don't know a single thing from the future than can be verified. Either way, humans should have control over robots so they don't become sentient and kill us.

How old are you? Pretty sure digital technology and smartphones are invented in the late 1980s to early 2000s. 

I havent seen much evidence that robots are lowering jobs.  Making robots and the new technologies opened up by robotics makes jobs as they are taken away.  They also lower the cost of consumer goods.
