Embrace Automation, Celebrate Humanity

Advancing automation should not be seen as a threat to jobs, but rather as an opportunity to redefine how society supports artistic and human endeavors.

Resisting automation to preserve an outdated model of labor is misguided; instead, society should leverage automation to enhance human potential and dignity.
