Empathy has nothing more to do with it than wishing makes things so.

Worries of "automation taking over" overlooks historical precidence.


At one time there was a push for a legal ban on sewing machines - as they "put seamstresses out of work."

Not what happened of course - clothing simply got better quality at lower costs.

Automation will not replace human workers. They will just make jobs easier and yield better results. People will also need to train for new jobs.
