THE ROBOTS ARE PROTESTING… BECAUSE AI IS TAKING HUMAN JOBS.
We might have officially reached the most ironic stage of the AI revolution.
Robots are out here marching with protest signs while humans are watching them take over more and more repetitive jobs.
Imagine explaining this to someone in 2015:
“Don’t worry, robots won’t replace humans.”
Fast forward a few years…
THE ROBOTS ARE NOW PROTESTING ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT.
A humanoid robot capable of working in factories, warehouses or logistics can easily cost somewhere around $50K–$150K+ today.
10 robots = $500K–$1.5M.
100 robots = $5M–$15M.
And the technology is still getting better.
If robots become just 30% more capable every few years, the number of tasks they can handle could explode.
The funniest part?
Humans were supposed to protest against robots taking their jobs.
Now we apparently need to worry about robots protesting against other robots taking THEIR jobs.
At this rate, by 2040 we’ll have:
humans → robots → AI robots → robot unions.
The future is getting weird.
