Those people already exist - they spend far more money than they need to on frequently replacing their fragile machines, they suffer from obesity and malnutrition, and they're boring to be around.

Hard disagree on automation replacing filters and light bulbs, those are exactly the jobs too marginal to be worth automating. So far we're mostly just making replacement more expensive in resources but cheaper and simpler in labour training.

💖 on your last paragraph. When my machines break, I love taking them apart and making them dumber, more reliable and more repairable. They look like Dr Frankenstein's Adam, of course :D

We already have filter-free vacuum cleaners and LEDs are not light bulbs. I'm just saying that everything will eventually be like that.

There are two kinds of filter-frees IMHO - the kind that require paper bags, and the kind that blow dust back out everywhere. A cyclone can only do so much. The human avoids doing one job only because the machine avoids doing another.

LEDs are modules, not simple bulbs, and they suffer failures too, admittedly not at the same frequency. They still need replacing and we not automating that...
