i kinda do suck.

so we good.

…we require people to do tedious, repetitive tasks, to be alert for long periods, ready to respond at a moment’s notice: all things people are bad at doing.

How is this something new? You could say the same about driving a car or flying an airplane. Or operating the steam engine down at the textiles factory. Or doing anything really: grinding acorns for mush, or gathering wheat and pounding it into flour. And then out jumps a puma who eats one of your kids.
