I extremely do not need a human to be driving my burrito taxi.

“I don’t want AI to replace artists and writers” is a humanist sentiment but “I don’t want robots to replace delivery drivers” just comes across as regressive to me.

I don't understand how we can argue for replacing jobs with robots while ignoring the fact that we're taking salaries and replacing it with nothing. The end game here is massive unemployment and poverty. It is a very very bad idea.

Max, I appreciate many of your posts and this is an unexpectedly sarcastic reply. We can accept and welcome progress and be concerned about the workers impacted by that progress at the same time.

I think we should have a robust social safety net to take care of people who lose their jobs. I do not believe that we should do luddite job protectionism for food delivery drivers. There is plenty of other work to be done.
