Much of the discussion about Artificial Intelligence goes like this:
A. We are about to be quickly immersed in a mind-boggling collection of information and analysis.
B. As a result, there will be _____, ______, ______, and even more ________, as jobs are ______. Your own job, for example, will _____ or ______.

Why are people so unhappy when they get laid-off or fired... after all it means they've had a 'great expansion of their leisure time'.
