Amazon Grows to over 750k Robots, Replacing 100k Humans

You don't have to cover for Amazon. It's a megacorp, it's going to be fine without you.

You make all these claims, "false rumor" this and "debunked" that, back them up with nothing, and then when someone posts a link in response you're like "See! Amazon debunked it."

No need to make this personal. This is about Amazon, not jedberg.

I'm certainly not defending Amazon, I'm defending AI. What they build was impressive and worked for the most part (I saw the behind the scenes). It was just really expensive because you needed high resolution full coverage of the entire store.

I just find it disingenuous for people to pull out this example as "why AI doesn't actually work" when it's not an example of it.

Why would it be disingenuous? They could be just misinformed or wrong.
