Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews

Are they really making the food worse, or are people just biased against it because a robot made it? Because humans are perfectly capable of making shit food themselves as well

In any case, in a world where 1st world countries actually took care of their citizens this would be a non-issue. Either there would be some sort of UBI program in place for workers that get replaced by robots or a worker re-training program or a combination of both (e.g. people still have an income during that training).

UBI wouldn’t be just for workers that get replace by robots. The “U” in “UBI” is Universal, meaning everyone gets the Basic Income. From the guy with untreated mental illness that hangs out in the park to the richest billionaire.

  Well yea, but rolling it out slowly as people get “displaced” is how it would realistically get started IMO. It would be quite a taxing program for any country to just suddenly start

    The problem is that SK(and a vast majority of the rest of the world) have declining birth rates. South Korea doesn’t have a “staffing” issue, they have a people being born issue. And most of the rest of us are gonna start feeling it soon too!
    
    If something drastic doesn’t change for SK soon, in 30-60 years they won’t have enough people working to cover pensions, let alone UBI.

    You can pay for ubi by taxing the robots, both physical and digital.
    
    UBI is entirely possible if we transfer just a fraction of the wealth from corporations back to people.

    Love… apathy… it’s 2025, that Venn Diagram is a circle.

  There’s no love in food, only improvised measurements. Adding too much or too little of something alters the taste in subtle ways to make the dish taste unique.

That’s what I’m thinking. I bet if you put a human-prepared meal and a robot-prepared meal next to each other and didn’t tell the customer which is which, they wouldn’t be able to tell. It’s like how wine tastes better if you think it’s more expensive.
