when you are served by human, it just brings certain je ne sais quoi.

i’m baffled both by the angle of attack and choice of an image (is this retweet of musk?)

    i mean, sorta when it’s your local bar/restaurant where you plausibly can be on first name basis and bullshit around on slow day, and even then, depending? but drive-through or chain restaurants, there is very little possibility of interaction there, people look overworked and tired already.

    ai-friends are much more grim

      I don’t even mean it in the sense of being pseudo-friends though - I mean the human interaction inherent in the job itself. It’s not the work itself that is bad, but the conditions. The same could be said of e.g. teaching.

      And automation is not going to make those workers any less overworked or tired!
