That is indeed what factories preferred since the beginning of industrialization.

I’m not concerned so much about AI taking over my livelihood as I am of businesses treating humans as automatons, and have been for over a century, if not more. We even adapted our education system to crank out more automatons (John Taylor Gatto’s book).

The flip side is understanding what a true autonomous agent is from the lens of Promise Theory. At the core of it, you trust humans to do what they promise to the best of their abilities. This is the heart of voluntary cooperation. For AIs to be truly autonomous, they cannot be proxies for promises humans make to each other. (Being a proxy for humans is how AI safety ethicists are approaching this). Instead, AIs have to be capable of making and keeping promises in their own right, and we have to trust they do what they promise to the best of their capabilities. … but not every business can’t seem to do that with humans.

I assume they mean one that does not dissent.
