Would you say the same of any automated or mechanised process that massively reduces necessary human input for the above reasons?
That is honestly how I actually see these things being used now, they can be powerful tools if used effectively.
The thought of people being replaced wholesale though…
Tractors and combine harvesters replaced humans wholesale. Would you rather we go back to a world where all farming must be done by humans manually operating equipment? Countless advancements in manufacturing replaced humans wholesale in factories. Should we undo that?
