What a great fucking idea, Apple! Let's take authors out of the equation next! We can all listen to AI reading stories written by AI and watch movies and shows that are CGI and listen to music that is written by AI! Think of all that tedious creativity that will save!
@firdarrig In general it seems the goal in the tech industry is to automate as much human work as possible to increase profits. It is hitting white collar now, using software instead of robots. Beyond your examples, there is also a strong effort to automate general-purpose software development.
Like with most other automation, it won't do away with all human jobs in an industry, but you will need fewer people do to the same work, as those people will be overseeing/training the automation.

Which, in a society that requires productivity in order to live, means that we're all reduced to burger flippers and Amazon box stuffers except for an increasingly elite few.
