Yes. I do. I have performed manual labor and I’ve performed desk work in an office. The one where I could sit in a comfy chair with air conditioning and free access to a kitchen and reliably clean bathrooms was much better for me. Arguing that AI should be the decision maker positions and humans should continue to be manual labor is dumb. It’s not like factory workers are free lance woodworkers creating fulfilling art. They’re just selling their bodies to survive.
People shouldn’t have to destroy their bodies just to live. Things like UBI will be difficult to obtain while we still need humans to do shitty and dangerous jobs.
If we can get rid of manual labor, things like anarchy and communism become much more viable options.
Why? Do you perceive manual labor as something that needs to be eliminated? “Bad”?
I’m pretty sure these are the jobs they’re referring to, not the manual labor

Manual labor isn’t the description most would use for the activities in that factory…
They might not think that, but I do.
