This is a bad idea, just as bad and pernicious as autonomous robots with authority to commit lethal violence on their own say so.
When they ask how the humans went extinct, the answer will be; gradually and then suddenly.

- logn 13y ago> a service for which people are willing to pay ... people are willing to pay for terrible things, especially if they're provided by autonomous businesses. And people will do anything for money including working for an autonomous business doing terrible things. And who's to say that an autonomous business providing a nice service, such as electricity, won't keep trade secrets and also needs no human workers (thus robots could be doing, in secret, some terrible deed hated by humans to provide a resulting service liked by humans... and that secret business plan might have been concocted by an algorithm with no human intervention).
