If your job can be replaced by a program, maybe it's for the best?
After all, John Henry got replaced (well, as the story goes, died, but you know what I mean).

Just getting rid of so much manual paperwork would be a leap forward.

I've been writing software that eliminates office donkey work for decades - they seem to find more every year. The new buzz on the block - software robots to do the repetitive office work. Ffaaaaarrkkk they are scripts you idjits!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

It's hopeless. Technology itself will never defeat regulation that generates imaginary work.

I'm in favour of automating tasks that are amenable to automation, with the caveat that we need social mechanisms to share the benefits, instead of making the rich even more filthy rich and leaving the majority without a means of earning a living.

I will gladly hire you to sort my shoes for me.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It's sort of ironic. We used to do useful things, then the bean counters came along and all of a sudden we are doing lots of "routine", repetitive "work." Now they want to automate it. Why don't we just fix the problem and get rid of the routine work?

Easy... that would imply common sense, and that's not so common as false intelligence
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
