And make 'em pay for all the tiny robots that will soon be put into our body's, that will keep us alive for up to 300 years.

We do tax them, just like any other machinery or equipment. Manufacturer pays tax, then there is a sales tax. All of the electricity they use is paid to the power company. Repair men are paid and also pay tax, and those that manufacture replacement parts, etc.

IBM Watson is working for Wimbeldon to create video clips based on any question (foot faults, points at net, etc). That is replacing video editors who used to do this.

IBM Watson is replacing salesmen for Northface, Staples, and Macy's. It can find what you want / need. GM is using it in cars to personalize service for the driver. Healthcare providers are doing the same. American Cancer society is using it as an advisor to people who call in with questions. A marketing firm is using Watson to design social media campaigns. Other companies are using Watson to make ads interactive. In England they are using Watson to predict crime. Citibank uses Watson for data analysis and customer service.

"An AI god will emerge by 2042 and write its own bible. Will you worship it?"

"In the next 25 years, AI will evolve to the point where it will know more on an intellectual level than any human. In the next 50 or 100 years, an AI might know more than the entire population of the planet put together. At that point, there are serious questions to ask about whether this AI — which could design and program additional AI programs all on its own, read data from an almost infinite number of data sources, and control almost every connected device on the planet — will somehow rise in status to become more like a god, something that can write its own bible and draw humans to worship it."

I am not aware of anything man made that is anything more than a tool. The idea that it will evolve to where we are serving the tool instead of the other way around is pure speculation without any example to point to.

I think what is far more likely, at least in the short term, is that we will become completely dependent on the machines. Since the Agricultural revolution jobs have become so specialized that people can not survive apart from modern society. We are already dependent on so many different functions. With AI it will become all encompassing and very much invisible. In other words the AI will identify our patterns and do things for us that we soon forget how to even do. We saw this with slavery. The owners eventually cannot do anything and are completely dependent on the slaves.
