The alternative is to let humans do everything. Think about what that entails.

I have seen enough human incompetence that AI incompetence is beginning to look quite favorable. AI performance, at least, goes up generation to generation. If you've ever faced minimum wage workers, you know that they are, at best, consistently the same level of awful.

How is that the alternative? That's not even the reality 100 years ago, let alone today.

Guess why. People did their damn best to replace human labor everywhere they could, as soon as the tech allowed for it. Because human labor sucked for everyone involved.
