Sorry but it's true. If automation was as bad as people have been saying then why in the 3 years since that autistic video "humans need not reply" made its debut has nothing changed? Why do I still see swaths of low skill jobs just as unautomated as they were a decade ago? Why are self driving cars (which are THE symbol of automation) just as unavailable to the average consumer as they were a decade ago and with as much progress as they had 3 years ago?

Say it with me: automation is a meme

What careers aren't going to be replaced by robots in the near future? I want to get into medicine as either a nurse or in research, and nursing seems like one of those careers where you need the emotional support that only a human can give you, but are robots going to become so advanced that patients can end up relying on them fully?
