I'm not cut out for a PR job, because reading this whole line of reasoning "lets stop focusing or publishing these awesome and great creations because idiots are scared of losing their jobs" makes me pretty mad.

Let the robots take the jobs, let the people cry and whine that they can be automated by a slab of metal parts and coding. If they can't adapt, let them die.

Give them the tools to adapt, of course, the government should have massive, ready, and waiting systems to accept hundreds and thousands of people and train them in new fields and jobs. We shouldn't leave them to losing their jobs and being able to find nothing new, unable to pay for new training.

However, once that is done, if you can't deal with the change, you deserve what's coming for you.

Google is dead.

If robots and AI become better than humanity as a whole I see that as a positive thing, and it will either result in mankind being able to live lives of peace and luxury with no work, or it will result in mankind being replaced by something derived from us, and likely made like us, but is better than us.

Both are positive results, so long as the transition between today and tomorrow does not happen with genocide, but through free choice and natural consequences of the forces and effects on society.
