RE: Will Machine Learning and AI Force Us to Rethink Mainstream Economic Theory?

in #life8 years ago

I think it's a little bit too optimistic to assume we'll just automate away all of the jobs. I don't think robots will be cheap enough to replace manual labor for gas stations, dollar stores, walmarts and the like for a long time.

If anything robots are mostly improving the quality work at places like, for example, Amazon warehouses - or replacing work that nobody wants to do, that often ends up as sweatshop labor otherwise
