unskilled warehouse workers.

It’s ironic to call them unskilled in an article describing how their skills are beyond billion-dollar robots.

“Unskilled” meaning you can teach someone to do the job reasonably well off the street in a few hours. Unfortunately robots are not humans and thus need to be meticulously designed while a guy just needs a decent paycheck and benefits.

Unskilled means can get someone to do it for minimum wage 🫢

It doesn’t mean it’s only worth minimum wage to the company.
