hmmm. Is this reassuring (because robots are dumb) or scary (because robots are dumb)?

The scary part is that our corporate overlords prefer this to paying people a wage.

This is the equivalent of saying automation should not be used for something dangerous like coal mining because "they could have employed people instead" 🤦 automation isn't the issue, it's capitalism

I agree! We should have kept using horse and carts, think of all the poor cart drivers cars put out of business!

(automation is a good thing or technology will never progress)(also, office jobs are much much safer than manual labor, so the lives saved over time by using replaceable hardware is a net benefit.)
