yes i'm fully onboard. it makes no sense that we still are still holding on to these mundane repetitive low paying jobs when there's other alternatives. we got to stop looking at automation like "the robots are taking our jobs" because the jobs they are so-called taking really suck and aren't helping anyone. yes automation will displace some people initially, that's just a reality. the longer that we hold on to "doing it the old way" though, it's going to be worse than it needs to be. we will adapt and refocus our attention to other types of more meaningful work like we always do.
