@ali It doesn't solve that problem though, because it works as well as a white collar worker on 20 tabs of LSDWhat it does it makes people feel like that problem is nearly solvable so people feel more precarious and and potentially lowers labor costsThese systems are not nearly as reliable or capable of working at scale as investors would like everyone to believe Which is why using them is so dangerous
