Saw a robot making coffee in Portland and it got me thinking about AI jobs

I was at a new cafe in Portland called Circuit Brew and they had a robotic arm making all the espresso drinks. It was fast and never got an order wrong. Some people say this is cool progress, but others worry it takes jobs from baristas. What do you think, is this kind of automation a good step forward or a problem?

Did you see that study about automation creating new jobs too?

It's true, but the new jobs often need different skills. Paul330, people in my line of work see machines handle the heavy lifting, while we focus on logistics and customer service. The real challenge is helping workers learn those new roles.
