Yes, I did. But why are you debating it? Because you disagree with it? Disagree with what exactly? If I said: "Automation will take over menial and mundane tasks" would you still disagree? No. So what do you disagree with? Frees people? Why do you disagree with it? Because it does not free anyone, menial and mundane is what people love to do 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, especially when they can do it to make profits for someone else, or something. What the actual fuck?

btw

'Robot' was first applied as a term for artificial automata in the 1920 play R.U.R. by the Czech writer, Karel Čapek. However, Josef Čapek was named by his brother Karel as the true inventor of the term robot.[8][9] The word 'robot' itself was not new, having been in the Slavic language as robota (forced laborer), a term which classified those peasants obligated to compulsory service under the feudal system (see: Robot Patent).[42][43] Čapek's fictional story postulated the technological creation of artificial human bodies without souls, and the old theme of the feudal robota class eloquently fit the imagination of a new class of manufactured, artificial workers.
