this generalizes, automating things is hard not because doing things with machines is hard (though it is), but because doing things with machines at anywhere near the speed and accuracy of a human is *incredibly* hard. everyone loves to meme about people being bad drivers, or shitty at x or y, but do you know how many people drive every single day, and how few of them have accidents. it's absolutely absurd. with better training and assistance it's even harder to beat
