You raise a good point, i.e. "do you steal a loaf of bread to feed your family?"
> Do I value integrity? Do I value my family? If I value both, which do I value more?
To make that choice you need to quantify exactly how 'bad' something is though, otherwise you can't determine which you value more.
It's like comparing stealing a loaf of bread vs. killing a man and stealing his money for your family; you'd need to quantify how "bad" each is, to determine that for ex. killing is worse than letting my family starve.
So how 'bad' is automating your job, is it even 'bad' at all?
