Replacing is the wrong word imo. Displacing is more accurate. Humans will always value humans for their humanness, and will be displaced in everything else given enough time.
Even those that think capital will keep them competitive are wrong. At some point machines will be the wealthiest entities on earth and deploy capital and other machines better than any human.
If we don't destroy ourselves along the way, I think most humans will merge with machines. First in relatively crude ways. Later in more sophisticated ways. And finally by creating organic machines that we, in effect, reproduce with.
In 5-10 years I think employment numbers won't be much different than they currently are. Our work will just become increasingly abstract as it has always tended to.
