“Who will grow food and tend farms?”

This last fall I saw a machine pruning grape vines...perfectly. And another behind it picking up all the trimmings.

Drove by one day and it was busily working. Drove by two days later and it was all done.

640 acres.

It would take a hundred Mexicans a couple of weeks. And it would not be perfect.

Besides, robots don’t need food, reducing demand considerably:)

Nor do they pee on the vines or poop in the field...

So can AI pick the grapes and stomp them barefooted?

Will all their wine be perfect?
