So you're basically complaining that automation isn't efficient enough which is why you don't like it? All of those, especially the Verizon story, sound more like problems of bureaucracy than anything inherently wrong with automation itself. Except for the loss of jobs, which is why conversations of automation and UBI tend to go hand in hand.

The Verizon thing is only one thing. I also had trouble with the cable company, as well... It uses a voice to tell you how to fix your problem. The problem was I knew what was wrong. I just needed to talk to a person to figure out when the problem was going to be resolved. Though, the first time, I had to find out the problem. But it tells you to unplug the router, then makes you wait a minute while on the phone. After telling you to plug it back in, it makes you wait like 5 minutes on the phone. Then says it didn't work and finally lets you speak to the person. But the first thing I did was the router thing... multiple times. It really should ask. But it doesn't...

But it's not only efficiency itself. I do think they are terribly inefficient compared to a person. But it more about the lack of control. Or specifics, I guess. With the apps, like I said, I can't get what I want. Certain apps don't allow for certain things. If they make it where you have to use apps, or a person doesn't make you food, I lose out on many foods I like because it becomes impossible to order what I want. And I know many people like that. They get something super specific...
