“Minimum wage and the idea that hard work should lead to economic security, can be — and are being — destroyed by these A.I. systems.”

I feel like you gotta go out of your way to make so little money doing this. If they actually did it correctly there would be no article to write. Not saying they would get rich but there's no way they did this honestly.
