It’s “bad somehow” because people require money to live.
Automating everything will lead to a glorious utopia for maybe 10% of people and everyone else will be left to die in abject poverty.
I agree it is a very stupid problem to have. It’s also a very real problem that we do have, right now, unless we do some major restructuring of our biggest world economies.
If things go the way they should and the entire world population gets to benefit from this, then you’d be right.
The problem right now is that there is literally zero indication that it will go that direction, and actually a lot of evidence that it specifically will go the opposite way, where the billionaires hoard all of the benefits and the rest just get to suffer and starve
Celebrate?

I mean, isn’t that the current setup globally anyway?
If you’re starving it won’t be easy to celebrate. Yes, automation should be a good thing. But under capitalism it won’t be.
