      Things we find easy (like vision and motor skills) AI find difficult.

      The real problem is our society values things backwards.

      Keeping our streets clean and not full of garbage is very lowly paid. While entertainment is some of the best paid.

      Entertainment is important but not up to millions of times more important than garbage collection.

      The fucked up part is that the technology to take away all the tedious jobs is already there, but for some reason it’s more cost effective to use humans for the tedious shit. Maybe something to do with the fact that minimum wage has stagnated over the past how ever the fuck many years.

      In Star Trek things like AI were supposed to solve issues to put us in a post-scarcity world so we could have time to focus on things like being actors and painters and being creative.

      For real. Why can’t we have something that can do housework for us first.
