Automated Lovemaking Unit 34-B/11

A while back everyone decided to freak out about automation taking over the trucking industry . Then , as per usual , every stopped caring about it without any resolution or action taken . You know like when Russian invaded the Ukraine .

Anyway one of the dudes I work with used to be a trucker and he was talking about it with some folks the other day and the conversation went the way it always does - first everyone is OUTRAGED because without truckers the entire country will collapse , then general technology bashing which involves looking up New Yorker articles on a smartphone without an iota of irony , thirdly how AI is going to murder us all , and finally - as always - an explanation of why THEIR job could never be automated because they're so special and awesome and cool .

According to the Consumer Technology Association here are the business most likely to be automated once they finish killing the trucking industry .

Office Operations

More than any other type of work , office operations are the most likely to be upended by automation in the next five years. Business are looking to automate basic administrative support tasks which can sharply reduce a firm's operating costs while greatly driving up efficiencies. They predict that office automation will be a defining factor separating businesses that thrive from those that fall behind in the coming years.

Warehouse Operations

I feel like this has already kind of happened . Granted I don't hang out in warehouses a lot but the only time recently I was in one there was a dude with a computer and a bunch of robots doing everything .

Customer relations

Automation can take over functions like keeping contacts lists up to date or using online forms to generate leads. More sophisticated analytics applications can generate insights into a customer's business and identify sales opportunities — a variation of Amazon's "since you bought that, you might be interested in this" formula.

Manufacturing

This also seems like it already happened . Didn't they make a bunch of movies in the 80s about autoworkers fighting robots ? I feel like Michael Keaton was in one of them .

Customer support

One way to distinguish customer support from customer relations is to think of it as a more responsive process, one in which customers actively engage with a business to answer a question or address a specific problem. Microsoft views automation in this area as a way to address customers' basic needs, while reserving a firm's human capital for more challenging issues.

The retail giant Lowe's is active in this area with the trial run of its automated LoweBot, an in-store service robot that can engage with customers in multiple languages, help them navigate the store and monitor inventory.

Accounting

Just over one-third of respondents to the CTA survey say they plan to automate accounting tasks . The consulting firm estimates that about 20 percent of the tasks in the flow of a recording and reporting cycle for a typical finance unit can be completely automated, needing no human intervention. And nearly 50 percent of those tasks can be mostly automated, with technology handling the lion's share of the work.

Operating machinery

Businesses in machinery-driven industries such as oil and gas production have an opportunity not only to lower costs and improve productivity, but to improve employee safety. Dutch energy giant Shell, for instance, announced a major partnership earlier this year with C3 IoT and Microsoft to improve its drilling operations and perform predictive maintenance on valves, compressors and other equipment.

"Whether you're in construction, whether you're on an oil rig — these are the kinds of things that used to be a real health risk". With automation, firms can "have someone very safely sitting inside an office" monitoring those machines remotely.

Human resources

Leaving aside the irony of automating "human" resources, nearly a third of all "hire-to-retire" HR processes can be fully automated, while nearly another third can be mostly automated. Low-hanging fruit in this area include tasks such as applicant screening, employee file management and on-boarding functions like IT access and equipment provisioning.

So there you have it folks , if you're working in any of these industries you're screwed . The good news is there will still be plenty of demand for sex workers because that's one thing that can never be automated .

Most of the jobs u mention have already been taken over by computers in one way or the other!
I was in a totally automated warehouse. over 100 loading docks, in the 80's, a large part of manufacturing is mostly computer/robot driven! Unless ur vehicle is over 40 years old it computer controlled!
And by the way, sex dolls r already here!

They worry more about foreign trade than they ever will or ever had about automation taking over jobs

    Quoting luvgluv19:

With automation they make money, with foreign competition they lose!

Like 40Deuce says, they don't care about employees anymore!
