If you want to play that game, you need to offer a fair comparison against the cost of "operating" the equivalent human being(s), measured in caloric input, waste output, etc.

Minimising the cost of “operating” humans means getting rid of humans. When human beings are not slaves and operate in a fair system, humans doing things is part humans living. Believe it or not, they may actually enjoy doing things; taking away the ability to do things we enjoy, and especially for compensation, is in fact harmful.
