It's almost as if the menial jobs are the hardest ones to automate eh?
It's been proven again and again that what's second nature to us is impossibly hard for computers and vice versa. We can't math, we can't remember things reliably, the average person can't do art very well and most of us suck as writers too. The more effort something takes for us to learn the more we appreciate it as a society, but unfortunately those are the easiest pickings for automation because we have already worked out the entire process of learning it logically and not by intuition.
