    Even if it was right 99% of the time, it still wouldn’t be worth replacing human labor, because labor is used as a meatshield for upper management. They’ve put a lot of effort into being untouchable, and they won’t want to take the hit personally when something goes wrong. You can’t fire the ‘employee’ when it fucks up, when it’s the only one you have.
