    Why do we need to get rid of the job of human radio presenter?

    Techbros keep telling me AI frees people up to stop working shitty jobs and pursue their dreams, but the truth is none of these tech evangelists give a shit about anyone’s dreams if they aren’t some lame vision of factorio where the factories pollute the planet churning out ripoffs of human culture.

      Why do we need to get rid of the job of human radio presenter?

      Profit motive. When maximizing profit margins are the primary object of the economy, then workers are seen as an unfortunate expense. And so capitalists seek to employee as few workers as possible while also paying them as little as possible.
