11 sats \ 3 replies \ @DEADBEEF 22 Apr \ on: Amazon grows to over 750k robots, replacing 100k humans ideasfromtheedge
So if 750,000 robots replaced 100,000 humans that means 1 human can do the job of 7.5 robots?
I imagine one robot can be made to do one task very effectively, but it's hard to make a general-purpose robot. Humans aren't as fast or efficient, but we are smart enough to adapt to various different tasks.
Another way to look at it may be that the human workers were having to do around 7.5 unique tasks as part of their job, and so 7.5 robots are needed to automate that.
