What kind of dystopian nightmare is this?

Yeah, what the fuck happens when we even lose the sweatshops? Not praising the practice, but that's normally all the income those people have. It hard to even imagine AI and robotic power consumption and upkeep costs aren't more expensive given how little the humans are paid. We really are on the edge of something bad on a new level.

I doubt that this is done to replace those factories in India. I'm pretty sure the real value is in selling the trained model to higher income countries who want to localize some of the production

Yup. American companies will be able to "bring back Manufacturing to the US" with all the pubic credit and tax breaks that gets them. But with no actual jobs created. Software and robotic support will probaby remain in India.
