You want to outsource thinking to a computer system and keep manual labor? You do you, but I want the opposite. I want to decide what goes where but have a robot actually put the stuff there.

That's the problem, though - the computer is already better at thinking than you, but we still don't know how to make it good at arbitrary labor requiring a mix of precision and power, something humans find natural.

In other words: I'm sorry, but that's how reality turned out. Robots are better at thinking, humans better at laboring. Why fight against nature?

(Just joking... I think.)

I think he means outsourcing everything eventually, but right now, outsourcing the thought process is possible, while outsourcing the manual labor is not.
