Automation has been taking jobs in manufacturing and a few other industries already for many decades. Now they are using the “AI" marketing buzzword but these machines are only doing what they have already been programmed to do and aren’t capable of learning anything new on their own until a programmer updates their software.

I’m not sure how good for the economy this will be. Usually, working at a fast food restaurant is one of those things you can do as a last resort when you are unable to find employment but now that won’t even require a human workforce. More people could end up on welfare, draining resources from the government, instead of doing something productive.
