They already have. Factories, drone attacks, hell if I need advice I can just ask Siri lol.
They already have,you see them on the nightly propaganda report known as the "news" ala Max Headroom
If since the letter,
made a deal go sour,
on pacts of golden seal,
post marked.
aint it funny how it gets there,
and they say it never does,
I'll replace you with machines,
I cant face you.
so I wrote a letter,
to the messenger of my dreams,
I see him at a party,
endlessly.

This reminds of an episode of the "Twilight Zone" where a business man decides to start mechanizing his entire factory and as a result puts his workers out of business. His foreman is really ticked and tells the businessman that his father was a better man and how monstrous his son has become. Anyways lord and behold in a few weeks the entire factory is run by robots, everything is efficient. One day the businessman goes to the bar and sees the former foreman. He decides to talk to the worker and starts telling him how unfair it all is, how none of this should have happened. He begins crying. Then the camera pans over to the factory and you see a robot dressed as the businessman, talking about how efficient things have become.
Have you ever been inside of a factory? Nearly everything there is mechanized and the few things that aren't are left to humans for the simple reason that the workers still have some say in how businesses are run and they don't want to have their jobs done away with.
In this same train of thought, combines on farms and other pieces of farm machinery have enabled the workforce that was on farms to decrease from about 80% of people in the 1800's to well under 1% now. Most of this reduction was accomplished via industrialization. Increased crop yields via fertilizers and pesticides help too, but machines are the larger portion.
Cars are another example. In the next few decades I would expect (unless there is public outcry) more and more countries and states to pass laws concerning self-driving cars (I know California has already done so). This would take out another group of jobs (taxi/bus drivers), freeing people up for other tasks. This process will likely be quite long and quite expensive though, so there's not much to worry about if you do work in these fields now.
So yeah, this is already happening.
You mean one day there'll be a robot who will replace you in making all these bloody questions? Oh well, easier to destroy, I guess.
