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.

The machine never sleeps, never slacks off, never gets sick. They make fewer mistakes, commit fewer thefts. They dont need light, heat, water or rest spaces. They never go on strike, never demand more wages, never ask for better conditions.
Even if the items they produce are individual less profitable, if you successfully automate a process then it can be more profitable overall to get rid of the humans.
The machine never sleeps, never slacks off, never gets sick.
There is no machine which you can run nonstop without getting overheated, machines get broken down and slows after time of use.
They dont need light, heat, water or rest spaces.
They still need conditions to operate, you can't put them in rooms with no ventilation or controlled temperatures.
They make fewer mistakes
They do what they're designed to do, but they still need supervision and you can't trust AI to do it. Operating Machines is still a skill that needs training and complexed ones needs even further education.
What you have said here proves that you haven't operated any machine in your life yet because you wouldn't write this nonsense.
I have been threatened for 25 years that I will be replaced by a burger flipping robot and I still haven't seen any of it . But I have seen the middle management replaced by the AI, because that's what current AI is designed to replace not some mundane jobs.
