Will machines replace many jobs in the future?

Answer it yourself first
Record your own answer first. A model you have read three times comes out with a flattened rhythm, and examiners are trained to hear exactly that. Read it afterwards for the vocabulary and the shape, not to memorise the sentences.They will replace many tasks, and how many jobs disappear depends entirely on how those tasks are bundled. A job is a collection of things, and if a machine takes four of the twelve, the role usually changes rather than vanishes, at least at first. Where I think the disruption is real is in jobs that are mostly one repeated task, and a great many entry-level positions are exactly that, which worries me because those are how people used to get in. The historical answer, that new jobs always appear, is probably true and is not very comforting if you are fifty-two and the new jobs are somewhere else and require something you do not have. The transition is the actual problem, not the end state.

Straight answers
How long should my answer to “Will machines replace many jobs in the future?” be?
About 60 seconds. Long enough for the answer plus a reason or an example, short enough that the examiner can get through the rest of the set.
Should I memorise the model answer?
No. Record your own version first, then read the model for the shape and the vocabulary. A memorised answer changes rhythm and pace noticeably, and examiners are trained to hear it — it usually costs more than the better wording gains.
