Hard disagree. Most normal people do not want to see others’ jobs automated unless it provides obvious benefits. Nobody likes self-checkout lines, but they’re “automated.” I like talking to interesting Uber drivers.
Pharmacists though? Yeah replace them with face-ID prescription vending machines…
- mikebenfield 1mo agoI like self-checkout lines, as do I'm pretty sure most people I know. And I’ve never met a person who consistently enjoys Uber driver conversation; in fact I’ve often seen it used as the canonical example of a human interaction people hate.
- Ohentis 1mo agoI like self-checkout lines. I also don't want pharmacists replaced with face-ID prescription vending machines. It's possible that I'm not "normal", but I feel normal.
- siriaan 1mo agoPeople didn't like the early self-checkout machines which were horribly slow and inaccurate. Current models are quite slick and many people prefer them.
- msm_ 1mo ago>Nobody likes self-checkout lines, but they’re “automated.” I strongly prefer self-checkout. If self-checkout is available, I will use it. Most people I know have the same preference (to varying degrees, I am a bit extreme in that I will wait for self-checkout even if normal checkout is open and there is no queue).
- donmcronald 1mo ago> Pharmacists though? Yeah replace them with face-ID prescription vending machines… What? Pharmacists are a pretty important failsafe IMO. I trust the pharmacist as much as the doctor, maybe more in some cases.
