Reply to comment by BaggyHairyNips in A study found that people perceive that robots are replacing human jobs at a greater rate than they actually are. Only 14% of workers say they’ve had their job replaced by a robot. Workers who had been supplanted by a robot estimated that 47% of all jobs have been lost to robots. by Brave_Cycle_8745

Probably less but keep in mind western standards of living dropped to their lowest point during the industrial revolution. Personally I don’t want to deal with even a fraction of that.

Much less. If automation added total labor costs on top of the material cost of the robot we wouldn’t automate. You’d be paying more money to different people for the same thing.

Reply to comment by PraiseThePun81 in The killer ground drone revolution is here. The Netherlands has deployed four armed ground robots or unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), making it the first NATO country to do so. The robots are Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry Systems (THeMIS) UGVs built by the Estonian defense company Milrem Robotics. by mossadnik

They’re cheaper and don’t put a human in danger. For the cost of one tank with crew you could have a dozen of these with a wider range of load outs. So you could have a few acting as mobile artillery, some for AA, some carrying arial drones,some acting as tanks, all for the cost of one tank. Kind of like a small modular land version of a carrier group.
