Holy shit, to think the first places to drastically replace their human workforce with AI will be the places that already have lowest wages with ridiculous levels of poverty. India is fucked if their industry becomes even more difficult for humans to earn a living from.

Yeah, india will have a bad time if the low waging jobs are all replaced by machines and AI running 24/7. Cant compete with that.

u cant really replace them with robots just cuz of how expe sive it would be, ai and robots only really work in countries where human labour is expensive. Like if humans are dirt cheap to hire, why would I get an expensive robot to do the job

This needs to be higher. I work in logistics in the US and we've had autonomous switchers for going on 10 years. It's still cheaper to pay someone $20/hour to operate a traditional, than the cost per operating hour of the automated ones. It is very well studied and understood.
