People probably start having a faint idea of where all this goes.
One of their goals is unlimited, cheap, and malleable labor.
If it comes free, it's even better.
Feed them with beans, it's OK, but if you don't feed them at all, it's even better.
It used to be called slavery, if I'm not wrong.
Humanoids, robots, bots, AI, even better...
Making a bean stew (baked beans, perhaps?) needs soul and takes time.
AI and Co. have neither soul and are lightning-fast.
Humans are no longer needed to make, but to buy.
But, what happens, if you can't buy?
Sorry for the long comment!
