We should not be afraid of advanced robotics playing a vital part in our future lives.

Rebuttal #1"We have indeed tried to enslave this planet, and the planet is fighting back at us, global warming? Climate change? More and more species are becoming extinct day after day, and we will feel the consequences. Are we really in control of everything? We are simply using up this planet's resources for our increase in demands, for our technological demands"Humans are the dominant species on this planet, that's an irrefutable fact. Do you have any evidence to support your point that humans are not in control? Global warming and climate change are grey areas in the world of science right now and are totally irrelevant to the topic at hand. Even if they were genuinely proven to exist, it would only back up my point that humans are in control of this planet - we are the ones that call all of the shots that legitimately affect the environment, no-one else. We have so much control over this planet, that we may have actually affected it's biological system.Rebuttal #2"there is no control over anything. Riots? Wars? Especially civil wars, people are forced to change under these situations, whether is the people in charge or the ones trying to make a difference, no-one is capable of seizing complete control over anything."I thought we were debating whether or not the human race could prevent robots from taking over the world? Of course we can't control hostile uprisings in society, but that has nothing to do with the fact that the human race as a whole is in the throne of power on this planet - we are the dominators. No-one is capable of seizing complete control over anything? Kim Jong Un has full power over the poltiical stance in North Korea? Microsoft have full control over the type of products they manufacture? Shall I go on? Power in its fullness is everywhere, and it's the human race that wields it most vividly. Rebuttal #3"we will benefit from technology, sure, that's a perfectly good thing, but we could easily fall into the trap of taking it all for granted without knowing the downsides at all. Infact, we already have.Most people have a mobile phone, sit in front of a computer, and using other electronic devices, but we still do not know the harmful effects that they bring us"By this point in your argument (around halfway) I'm not actually entirely sure what point you're trying to make. It all just seems to be a loqacious rambling of emotional verbosity. From what I could pick apart, you seem to no longer be arguing that robots could take over the world, but that machines (computers, mobile phones and TVs etc.) have and are currently devouring our primitive existence. What are the harmful effects that come with modern technology? Of course, there are the minor harmful effects of poorer health and developing square eyes, but I can think of a dozen non-technological thingss that are equally as bad for you such as fast food, cigarettes and even sleeping if done too much. Technology, like everything else in the world, should be moderated. After all of the postive things technology has allowed us to do (visit the moon, travel faster etc.) what are these 'harmful' effects that you are referring to?Rebuttal #4"Machine Learning is used world wide, and it is beating humans at the speed which they can learn and convey messages, and they are mostly autonomous. You see machine learning everyday you browse the Internet, you get it in your e-mails, but do you know anything about it? No, the vast majority of us don't, and some don't even know of it's presents in our everyday lives. That's the scary part"Machine learning? Care to present any evidence to back up the existence of this terrifying beast that hides behind every internet browser?Rebuttal #5"We need them to know how our planet is functioning, how the people are living with one another, how other planets in our solar system are doing, and eventually how to take over one, we are already planning on relying on robots to take us forward, we are like cyborgs already, we are crippled without our electronic parts, we cannot even 'move' without them."Who is 'them'? Robots do not exist in our everyday life, those are called machines. Your computer is a machine, your TV is a machine, your mobile phone is a machine - robots have not been implemented into modern society, and robots that do exist (such as Asimo) are not capable of thinking for themselves and are stricly programmed by their manufacturers.Although we have taken most technology for granted, it's nothing short of farcical for anyone to say that we couldn't survive without it. We have survived on this Earth for millions of years, mostly without the use of the technology we rely on today. Maybe you're right, we are reliant on technology, but how does that constitute to this idea that it's negatively affecting us? It's still allowed us to do things that we wouldn't even have dreamed of being able to do five decades ago.Your exposition that humans are like 'cyborgs' is just nonsensical and I feel it would be pointless to state why. Rebuttal #6"Robots will play a key roll in entertainment in the future too, they will entertain your children, the children of your children, robot and human relationships will be thing, and like gay marriage, we are going have to make new laws to govern and 'control', we are bring ourselves more problems."Oh, so we're back to the original argument again, that robots will eventually take over the planet. Your argument is just so far-fetched and based solely on your distopian prediction of the distant future. That's your opinion, and you have not presented any evidence to fullfil your burden of proof. Therefore, there is absolutely no point for me to even attempt to rebute your claims.Rebuttal #7"we will be unable to live without it, and when they become a threat...there is no getting rid of them"In the hypothetical synopsis that robots are eventually implemented into society similarly to the way they are introduced to the home in 'I, Robot', what makes you believe that they will all of sudden turn evil and start wreaking havoc throughout the world? As I mentioned before, if we are clever enough to build human-like robots, then we are smart enough to put into place security measures in the rare event of an outbreak. Moreover, robots need to be programmed to function, so unless we started to program them to be aggressive towards humans, then where does this hostility that you claim will exist come from?Rebuttal #8"who can put down their mobile phone and leave their screens for the rest of their lives? Or for at least a year? No-one, and we simply cannot, because we need technology to get us through our everyday lives, to communicate to work and feed your family."People use their phones because they're useful, not because of some form of compulsive addiction that forces us to check our messages every ten seconds. Phones are possibly one of the most useful inventions humans have ever seen. They bring us together, allowing us to connect with people that we would never have met before without technology. Social media is controversial, but the invention of the text message and phone call is one that has vastly enhanced communication, and that alone is a pro that outweighs any of the cons that come with mobile phones, of which you are still to state.Rebuttal #9"how would you feel if your comrade was killed by a series of computer commands, wires and a metallic exoskeleton? Where's the dignity in that kind of death? And there will be no beating war machines even if they are semi-autonomous. What happens when terrorist get their hands on this kind of technology, which they will. Sure these weapons are protected by professionals that know what they are doing, but do we? Do we know what they are doing? Or why they are doing something? We often question authority and hoping for answers, but we don't always get those answers we want."Again, there is very little point in me analytically breaking this paragprah because it is merely just your opinion and there is not a single blip of evidence to back up your point.ConclusionEvery single point you've tried to make is based solely on your opinion and you have included no evidence or sources to bolster your far-fetched ideas. I advice pro to review their points carefully and present significant evidence to support them in the next round.
