A lack of compassion when it comes to automation replacing professionals like lawyers, accountants, and even doctors is understandable. Dealing with those kinds of professionals as a client is often a dehumanizing and unpleasant experience for many people. Much of the time, such dealings aren't particularly wanted to begin with. Those seeking the services of such professionals have often been forced into it in some way, many times by government or by government-imposed systems. Not only are such dealings an unwanted burden, but they're often extremely costly (financially, and in terms of time and effort), with the clients sometimes receiving poor service, as well as little, if any, real benefit in the end. It doesn't surprise me at all that people would be eager to see technologies that may help them avoid, or potentially reduce the cost of, having to deal with those kinds of professionals.

Have to agree on that - lawyers or doctors or else don’t really have enough time to address customer in a humane manner or to get full context of the problem. We had local pediatrician when I was a child that would be super helpful. After that I never had any other doctor that would give us so much attention. Lawyers even worse - pay $100 just to have a discussion that confirms what you already know. Maybe if I would be super rich that I could drop $1000 per hour I would get lawyer or doctor that actually digs into the problem and gives me solution that saves me more but for now $100 paid to the lawyer usually gets me $0 and satisfaction that bad guy did not get any money because it went to the lawyer.

Last time i went to the doctor it wasnt because of the goverment. Also having to deal with the law night be burdonsome. But without it most people would be off worse. And i rather pay my taxes then having no social systems, police, streets, etc. Of course some parts of it could be improved, but the issues arent because of the goverment, rather by a very complex social system we live in. But my experience might also be because i live in a direct democracy…
