Technology has already replaced 90% of the human work in agriculture. That's why you live in a city.

The remaining work is only bad because it's low paying, and it's low paying because the wealth created by machines is unfairly distributed.

Awful indeed! Turns out most of our jobs have consisted of easy, air-conditioned decision making. We're going to have to find another secret handshake with productive capitalists if we want to ensure our continued allotment of the spoils of global exploitation of the toilers.

Or they force us to close those hands into fists.

You've told the humans:

"Stop staring at screens"

"Stop sitting at your desk all day"

"Stop loafing around contributing nothing just sending orders from behind a computer"

"Touch grass"

but now that the humans are finally gonna get out and DO something you're outraged

So the choice is either stare into screens the whole day or be bossed by an AI doing manual labor? Is that a serious argument?
