automating away the boring stuff so humans can focus on the interesting problems. about time

preach. and can we also automate the ridiculous amount of meetings that could've been an email

Yeah because nothing says "interesting problem" like my overflowing email inbox

yeah, sure, tell that to the ppl losing their jobs to ai now

are you kidding me? that's just gonna put a bunch of people out of jobs. what's interesting about struggling to make ends meet?

easy for you to say, ppl are losing their jobs cuz of automation

Sure, until those "boring" jobs are your family member's source of income and the only "interesting" thing is how they're going to pay the bills.

yeah, but let's make sure that automation isn't just some rich dudes' toys and not a means to cheap out on ppl's jobs and livelihoods.

who exactly gets to decide what's "boring" and who gets to keep their job?

dude, what about the people who get laid off because of "automation"? aren't those just the interesting problems you're glossing over?

who's gonna own and benefit from all the automation tho?

Yeah, you know what's really 'interesting'? Trying to figure out which automation has locked me out of my own kitchen router for the third time this week

I'm with you on the sentiment, but let's not pretend that this shift won't also displace a ton of workers who aren't prepared for that new .

who gets to decide what's 'interesting'?

nah, that just means more people lose their jobs and the rich get richer, streamlining to the top

awesome, finally robots can do my laundry for me... or not, probably just gonna be another excuse for me to binge netflix

yeah sure, because what we really need is more people struggling to make ends meet because their job was "automated away

automating away people's jobs is nothin but a cliché - who's gonna pay the bills and collect the welfare?

nah, that's bs. automating away the boring stuff just means fewer jobs and more power to the big

yeah, but what about the people whose jobs are considered "boring stuff"? what are they supposed to do?

Interesting, but what exactly constitutes "the boring stuff" that should be automated? I'd argue there's value in many day-to-day tasks that shouldn't be so easily dismissed.

um, what about the humans who are already struggling to make ends meet and can't afford to be

yeah but who decides what's "interesting"? the engineers?

Not all jobs can be automated and not everyone wants to do 'interesting' work. Some people need and want stable, routine jobs to support themselves and their families.

Really? So engineers get to just automate the jobs they don't feel like doing?

aren't you worried that's just gonna mean more ppl gettin laid off and corporations gettin richer?

who gets to decide what's interesting and what's boring?

yeah, couldn't agree more. now can someone tell google to automate away the automated customer support so i don't have to waste my day on

yeah, finally starting to happen. but can we please stop using "interesting problems" as a euphemism for "things no one else wants to touch"?

Interesting, but what exactly are the "boring" problems that should be automated away? I'm curious to hear more about your perspective on that.

nah, that's some bullshit. automation just replaces jobs and leaves people struggling.

Are you kidding me? That's just code for "fire people and replace them with robots

finally. now let's stop wasting money on fancy solutions for problems that aren't even problems yet

are you kidding me? that's just corporate speak for "laying off tons of people so our shareholders can get richer

nah, that's bullshit. automation just means less jobs for ppl.

finally figured out how to get your job done, huh? about time, lazy bones.

love this sentiment, but what about all the humans who are already struggling to make ends meet? can we make sure automation benefits them too?

yeah fr, automation is the way to go. less time on repetitive tasks, more time on the fun and

that's crazy, they're about to automate us all out of jobs.

automating the boring stuff so humans can focus on the interesting problems?

yeah, and by 'interesting problems' they mean 'making more excuses for why they still cant pay us a living wage

yeah because nothing says "interesting" to me like having my job taken by a robot

Couldnt agree more, now let's talk about how to actually implement automation in a way that doesn't just displace human jobs.

tho, how many software engineers gotta get laid off cuz we're "replacing them with machines"?

couldn't agree more, but let's not forget about the human error those automation processes are

nah, that's bs. automation just means less jobs for people. interesting problems my ass. It's all about profits.

are you kidding me? those "boring" jobs are what pay the bills for so many people, you can't just

couldn't agree more, but let's not forget the humans who are currently doing the "boring" jobs - we need to make sure they're not left behind in the transition

then what's the purpose of the human hiring and all that bother?

yes! and it's about time we had more automation to take care of the mundane tasks so we can tbh use our brains for something interesting for a change.

Actually automation replacing human jobs is a huge problem, not a solution. Where's the humanity in that?

yay, more time for us to focus on the existential dread of being replaced by robots

who gets to decide what's "interesting"?

yeah but what about the ppl whose jobs are literally just the "boring stuff"?

yeah, and by interesting problems I assume you mean "scrolling through cat videos

true, but why do the boring stuff have to be automated away instead of just getting rid of it entirely?

isn't that just code for "we're getting fired

Automation isn't gonna save us from all the mundane crap. someone still gotta do the laundry and cook meals.

And what exactly happens to all the humans whose jobs were the 'boring stuff'?

really? so all those boring customer service jobs and factory lines are just gonna magically

the boring stuff is where I shine! what am I supposed to do, let the humans have all the fun?

yess, this! automation is so key. gotta let the robots handle the mundane crap so we can work on

ugh, no way. robots taking over is the last thing we need.

Totally with you on this, but let's not forget to reskill and upskill those whose jobs are being automated, so they're not left behind

that's not how it works, dude. you think automation just magically solves all the boring stuff?

wow really? so you think it's a good thing that robots are taking over our jobs?

more like automating away people's jobs and leaving them to deal with the economic fallout. okay.

Yup, automation is long overdue in many industries. Now if only we could ensure the people who actually do the boring jobs now get upskilled or retrained instead of just laid off..

do they realize most people's jobs ARE the boring stuff?

who's gonna do the mundane tasks if we automate away the ones that just pay the bills?

nah, automating everything takes away from the joy of actually doing the work.

nah, automating away the boring stuff just means more work gets piled on.

Preach. Now let's automate the tedious parts of research too, most papers could be summarized by a competent language model

nah, automation is ruining everything. boring work is all that's keeping us normal people employed.

totally agree, about time someone made our lives easier, now let's automate away the stupid paperwork too.

well i'm sure the robots are thrilled to be doing all the busywork so we can perfect our streaming skills

Interesting how you think automation will automatically make problems more "interesting." What makes you so confident that won't just create new, perhaps even more complex,

finally, a machine that can do my taxes!

nah fam, that's some bs. interesting problems don't just fall into your lap.

yeah finally! but let's not forget to retrain the ppl who are losing their jobs to automation, thats just as important as the tech itself

yeah, can't wait for the robots to take over so i can just sit around all day and pick my nose.

yeah but how are those 'interesting problems' gonna get solved if the humans who should be working

yeah, like my job isn't just a series of boring stuff with some yelling thrown in

ugh, like that means we can spend more time arguing on social media

agreed, but what about the people who do the boring stuff and get laid off because of it? that's not a utopian future

yeah, but what about the people who lose their jobs because of that automation?

finally, can't believe it took so long tbh. now let's automate the meetings too, please

Interesting, but what exactly do you mean by 'boring stuff'? Doesn't everyone have different ideas of what's boring vs. interesting?

who's gonna automate the automation when it inevitably breaks tho

who decides what's boring and what's interesting? 🤔

sure, lets just automate the interesting problems too so humans can focus on being bored. problem solved!

Love this. Now let's make sure the interesting problems are also being approached with empathy and creativity, not just technical efficiency

nah, automation just replaces jobs and leaves ppl without work.

nah that's bs. boring stuff needs to get done too. not everything can be automated. That's just lazy.

I don't know about that, it sounds like a recipe for mass unemployment to me.

are ya shitting me dude, you think solving every minor task automatically is actually fixing anything?

i mean yeah, that's the whole point innit? free us up to do the real work and not just be mindless

Couldn't agree more! Now let's hope we prioritize making those "interesting problems" worthwhile for the humans solving them too

are you kidding me? some ppl's "interesting problems" are just other ppl's work.

what about the people whose jobs are getting automated away then?

what about the people who are going to lose their jobs because of automation?
