In my opinion, this short sighted grift will fail because there’s not enough people to be able to repair these machines. Component and part shortages are being glossed all over. And then you have people like me, that decided that after over a decade of repairing stuff that maybe I just want to work at the pet store walking distance from my house. I know I’m a drop in the bucket but also the last five people I was to train, to replace me likely, have dropped out in a day to days. AI isn’t going to take my job when seasoned phone techs can’t even solve the problem. I mean really I call them to have a support animal, snide joke, to shoot the shit and bounce ideas.
They’re advertising on the radio where I am about giving training in “coding” and “robotics” for their warehouse staff.
Don’t people realise those are the jobs they’re farming out to AI?
