Why pay people to make crappy food when a robot can make perfectly equally crappy food?
People are too inconsistent when making crappy food. A robot can repeat the process to make nearly identical crappy food time after time.
When literally millions of automobile industry workers and suppliers lost their jobs mostly due to Japanese and other competition but also to large amounts of automation, workers grimly joked in Michigan:
“If the bosses build robots to make all the cars and we lose our jobs they’ll have to get robots to drive them because we’ll be too broke to buy them.”
No one then thought of a new development years later:
Self driving cars. Autonomous vehicles. Even the People Mover (Detroit) type small commuter trains have no drivers.

That’s right. But they need to be absolutely sure that the robots always wash their hands throughly after they go to the bathroom.
