People keep using automation as fearmongering. People do this every 5 to 10 years. I bet 30 years ago, people were crying about computers taking over their jobs, but it created only more jobs.
I feel like a lot of people (mostly NEETs) want complete automation to happen, so they can make a case for something unsustainable like UBI.
OP makes this topic twice a week. Automation isn't gonna happen that fast. It'll be here eventually but not in 5 years like he states. People said the same thing about the industrial revolution. And oh look. We're fine.
Actually, I would say that automation is already here and it has created a lot of jobs. Most factories have a tons of automation, but it didn't take jobs away, it help created more jobs because the process became more efficient.
After people complained about computers replacing humans 30 years ago, over 80 million jobs were created. They have no case at all. It's all a bunch of lazy bums hoping for UBI so they don't have to put in any effort to make their lives better.
I guess I meant more along the lines of mass automation. But we are talking hundreds of years. ---
