Sorry but it's true. If automation was as bad as people have been saying then why in the 3 years since that autistic video "humans need not reply" made its debut has nothing changed? Why do I still see swaths of low skill jobs just as unautomated as they were a decade ago? Why are self driving cars (which are THE symbol of automation) just as unavailable to the average consumer as they were a decade ago and with as much progress as they had 3 years ago?
Say it with me: automation is a meme

Even waiters at some sushi restaurants I've been to have part of their jobs automated by just having iPads at the table that you can place orders with
Yeah they are in loads of McD's in UK and continental Europe.
people who usually harp on automation are not engineers or studied robotics.
It's high labour prices that cause automation, not the other way around. This is why Silicon Valley is shilling for universal basic income. UBIs would drive the price of labour up, which in turn would make automation economically feasible.
You're the guy who said the same shit about the internet in the 1980s.
You're the guy who said the same shit about cars in 1904.
You're the same guy who said the same thing about electricity in the late 1870s.
Maybe your grandchildren will learn how to be right.
