147 00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:34,490 Definitely. 148 00:12:34,490 --> 00:12:42,860 If you are right now working for any type of factory, whether it's textile, coal or or the automobile 149 00:12:42,860 --> 00:12:48,200 industry, you most likely are going to be substituted with a robot. 150 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,540 I'm sorry, but that's what's going to happen. 151 00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:52,760 Because your job is routine. 152 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,860 Any any work that's doing the same motion repeatedly. 153 00:12:58,190 --> 00:12:59,690 A robot can do that. 154 00:12:59,990 --> 00:13:07,520 So if you're working also in a cognitive profession, such as an accountant, as I mentioned before, 155 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,610 you're going to get replaced very, very easily because a robot can add numbers. 156 00:13:13,610 --> 00:13:16,940 They can put numbers into the right sections on a form. 157 00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:23,720 So I think those that type of work is in the most jeopardy for easy replacement. 158 00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:27,780 Please stop. 159 00:13:28,350 --> 00:13:29,610 Final question. 160 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,650 What are the advantages or disadvantages of such a replacement? 161 00:13:40,180 --> 00:13:47,380 Well, the drawbacks are obvious because when you look at that, when you look at how robots are going 162 00:13:47,380 --> 00:13:55,960 to take the place of thousands and thousands of human jobs, there will be significant job loss for 163 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,100 the average Joe. 164 00:13:57,940 --> 00:14:08,560 Most people don't realize that their work is on the verge of really being canceled because of automation 165 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:10,060 and machine intelligence. 166 00:14:10,510 --> 00:14:17,430 So the major, major, major drawback would definitely be job loss in terms of advantages. 167 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:25,240 What it might do is free human beings up to do more creative efforts because we won't be able to do 168 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,710 that manual labor that robots can so easily perform. 169 00:14:29,740 --> 00:14:31,030 All right, please stop. 170 00:14:31,030 --> 00:14:34,340 That is the end of the test on the real exam. 171 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:41,170 At this point, the examiners would shake your hand and wish you a good day, and then they would review 172 00:14:41,170 --> 00:14:46,570 their notes on how well you did on all three parts and assess you. 173 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,630 Thanks for participating and have a great day. 174 00:14:52,890 --> 00:14:53,370 Okay. 175 00:14:53,370 --> 00:14:58,330 So that is what the Google Docs speech to tech software is. 176 00:14:58,350 --> 00:14:59,700 Now, it's not perfect. 177 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,940 Some I can see some of the language and some of the words that I said it didn't quite get. 178 00:15:06,660 --> 00:15:12,900 But I can really be able to go back and look at what I'm saying and kind of try to find areas where 179 00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:14,010 I can improve. 180 00:15:14,190 --> 00:15:15,510 As I said, it's not perfect. 181 00:15:15,510 --> 00:15:20,970 I can see it's not getting everything that I'm saying, but I think it's a really good tool for being 182 00:15:20,970 --> 00:15:24,900 able to just improve, improve on what you're doing. 183 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,940 And what I'll try to do, I want to kind of separate this a little bit. 184 00:15:31,410 --> 00:15:31,650 Yeah. 185 00:15:31,650 --> 00:15:35,070 This was the final the final final question right here. 186 00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:39,960 And that was my response. 187 00:15:45,550 --> 00:15:48,730 And that was that question in my response. 188 00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:53,250 Okay. 189 00:15:53,950 --> 00:15:54,370 All right. 190 00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:57,840 So I want you to take advantage of this. 191 00:15:57,850 --> 00:16:02,800 Now, of course, with the speech to text, we're not putting in punctuation. 192 00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:09,100 If I were just if you really are using this for other purposes, you can speech, you can speak and 193 00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:11,560 put in punctuation to stop. 194 00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:22,720 But the main thing or the main benefit of this is being able to being able to just work on your grammar, 195 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:28,990 your vocabulary that you're using, and just testing how how well you pronounce the words. 196 00:16:29,290 --> 00:16:29,710 All right. 197 00:16:29,710 --> 00:16:31,930 So thanks a lot and I'll talk to you soon. 198 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,920 Have a great day. 199 00:16:33,490 --> 00:16:40,900 Go ahead and do the next practices for set A, B, C, D, go ahead and practice doing part two and 200 00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:47,530 part three so that you're able to really self evaluate or with your study partner, evaluate your your 201 00:16:47,530 --> 00:16:50,110 outcomes and get ready for the exam.
