gollark: - I think automation is generally good as it could/should lead to less work generally or more intellectual/interesting jobs- people are not sure about whether there will be/are people who can't find work given increasing automation- if there are then it appears as if there are not functional systems in place to cope with it
gollark: Probably.
gollark: I, for one, generally prefer automating the boring whatever to people having to do it manually, except if there is unmitigable unemployment (nobody seems very sure about whether this is the case) things aren't really set up to deal with it.
gollark: Greetings, mortal.
gollark: Using it for evil would be mean, and thus impossible.
