guess what? AI is coming for YOUR job too. In fact, it is much easier to replace an executive with an AI chatbot than to automate most farm jobs that require special robotics along with AI to determine what to pick, what to not pick, how to handle the produce so that it remains in good condition, etc.

You, OTOH, could be replaced by a video puppet. Or a box of rocks.
