Are you saying that if the vid in question was about robots in Amazon warehouses (I used to work such job btw but they wanted me to do overtimes so I quit because I have stuff to do in my life like posting on this board :) you would not have a problem with "Automation frees people for menial and mundane tasks" statement?
That is a general statement about automation, in reaction to "makes me wonder about the pursuit of automation....people need jobs.", which is also a general statement. I mean, sure you .. explained .. to me how delivery is not mundane nor menial for you, though it would still probably be mundane and menial to me especially with current tools like GPS and computers where delivery vans get loaded and scheduled in depots with little input from driver/delivery worker who just drives around predetermined route and takes packages out of the van in predetermined order with little room for using intellectual potential of average human brain, but if this is the way you want to have a debate with me, I am not interested.
OK delivery is not a mundane and menial task. I apologize for making a false statement. I also hope you are happy now.
