I like the robot's response:

Can you?

Even if robots fail to reach the peak of human capability, so do most ordinary people.

And if you specify more than one capability, nearly everyone does.

Interesting when contrasted to this exchange:

You see... a carpenter, making a beautiful chair. And then one of your robots comes in and makes a better chair twice as fast. And then you superimpose on the screen, "USR: Shittin' on the Little Guy". That would be the fade-out.

I suppose your father lost his job to a robot. I don't know, maybe you would have simply banned the Internet to keep the libraries open.
