> there's no way AI could take over the job of "being the human who sits in the store and makes sure nothing gets stolen" Humans aren't there to stop theft, most are specifically trained not to interfere. Everything in a 7-11 could be sold from a vending machine. Service Merchandise was most of the way there. No human was really needed except to pick items and load them onto the conveyor belt at checkout. Robots can do that now. The irony is, in the new world, nobody will have enough money to buy anything from these places to begin with.
