      I think that’s the obvious implication of this question, but you’re missing the implied question arising from that answer: is this a problem we want to solve in this way ?

        Yes? But it’s the same problem as all automation - the majority of the surplus goes to the business owner, not the workers.

        In a better society, we’d be saying “hooray, now I’ll have more free time!”
