    Yeah the thing people don’t realize about automation is that it doesn’t even have to be good enough to replace a worker. It just has to be good enough to fool a manager, and that is not hard.

      Exactly, and companies have no problem degrading customer experience to save costs. Automated phone answering systems are a perfect example of this, it sucks for the customer, but it saves the company money. We’ll just end up seeing worse services and products as a result of this.

        LMAO, they keep lecturing the working class they need to take one for the team over and over again “for the economy”, but porky refuses to even spend a dime to even expand or upgrade his business, just overclocks more and hopes for the best.
