I hate to tell you this but that’s not how it works. The people who used to paint cars as they come off the production line aren’t creating interesting patterns for automation to paint on a car. There are just no production car painters anymore. Automating a job away doesn’t free the human up to actualize their life goals, it eliminates their income and makes their lives more precarious.

Damn, you’d think that with such advanced technology, they could just automate that job and have the workers move to doing something that isn’t a dehumanizing slog.

The system we currently have yes.

This. Automation doesn’t improve the lives of the workers. It improves the wealth of the owners.

Robot cost money for maintenance, fuel, and upgrades. Humans take care of all of that themselves and can be made to work harder (upgrade performance) without expensive software, just cheap abuse.

Robots are expensive to buy, program, and set up. Energy cost and maintenance is cheap.

Still more expensive than a human counterpart, which is the point.

No mention of the basic yet?
Camera + software = cheap;
Robot (hardware) = expensive

Humans are disposable, robots are expensive and require more expensive humans to maintain.

Humans are very expensive. They are just a highly subsidized resource for capital to exploit.
