Been an automation engineer for nearly 40 years & embrace it, but.....
Think about the automation of customers service.
Yesterday, I had to call my bank regarding a small problem, the first stage was to give me a list of options for the type of service I required, no problem, then put me through to an automated dunce, "In your own words, tell me what the call is about", my reply was simple (not going to divulge it obviously) but I needed to speak to an advisor, I it replied "recent transactions" and then gave me a list of recent transactions, not what I wanted, after repeated tries on a number different possible avenues, I just stopped answering, eventually the message was "please wait I will put you through to an advisor", Then comes the queue, yes you guessed it, 25 minutes later I was number 1 in the queue, after being number 1 for about 12 minutes (yes I was timing it) I got the "message sorry cannot take your call please try again later".
Let automation do the things that are repetitive, but we all need that human interaction, and people need jobs.
