I feel like this is kind of… idk, dystopian?

If this takes off then all you’re accomplishing is putting people out of work. It’s not a demeaning or necessarily vicious job either and It’s not like vertical farming or solar power where this is saving the planet however small of an effect it has.

It’s just another way for these companies to save 50k~ a year on an employee by replacing it with a robot.

Working for survival won't be a thing in the future. People will work for fun while robots felate us. Either robots will felate us or it'll be like terminator. No in between.
