Bullshit.

It's a nice dream, but the idea of AI and robots doing dishes, picking strawberries, washing cars, cooking meals will never happen.

The best AI cannot beat a population of Mexicans who are basically the glue that holds out modern society together.

If you wanted to see how the U.S. Will completely come to a screeching halt, it would be if the rapture took place and only claimed all Mexicans.

Our entire way of life depends on them. AI will never replace them.

Once our entire agricultural system (here in the UK) was dependent on manual farm labourers, now we grow 60% of the calories we consume with 1.6% of the workforce.

If something can be automated at a lower cost than paying wages it eventually will be, automation is coming (arguably has been here since the industrial revolution) and it's not stopped yet.
