The funniest/strangest/saddest angle I've encountered on this thread so far is regarding disabled people potentially not getting their food... as if human delivery was somehow not an option.
- dymk 5y agoHumans can also perform manual arithmetic, but we still prefer to let the computer do that for us.
- fishtacos 5y agoWhile the end result is inevitable, I am in no rush to automate all of humanity to its detriment. Socially/culturally/economically no civilization on Earth is advanced enough to provide for their people when faced with the above. Menial labor has its downsides, but the upsides are survival instead of death.
- onion2k 5y agoSurely whether or not you chose to use a computer to achieve something depends on its capability. Computers are better at humans when it comes to arithmetic. They're worse than humans at delivering food (hence the tweet). It makes sense to use computers for one of these things, and not for the other.
- renewiltord 5y agoI cannot believe you would type this comment electronically, thereby depriving a scribe, a courier, and a town crier of jobs. Three jobs gone, and for what? A snarky comment. The horror.
- fishtacos 5y agoYour insipid examples imply improvement, whereas these "robots" imply "needing help from the general public". My argument stems from a different angle, but yours fails completely.
