Randomguy Posted June 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2014 Just curious. I don't think mine can, a salesbot would quit this miserable industry in disgust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted June 17, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 17, 2014 Yes and no. Many parts of my job has been automated, I'm the one that automated them. So I can automate the task, but I can't figure out how to automate the generation of the automation, if I did, I would have more time to drink coffee.

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted June 17, 2014 Share #6 Posted June 17, 2014 Nope. The stuff I do is too complex for a machine to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted June 17, 2014 Share #7 Posted June 17, 2014 Spambots are not funny. No way a machine could post the quality stuff that I post. Quantity, sure, but to be as consistently witty and funny as I am would be impossible for a machine to pull off. KT and SW could easily be replaced by a toaster. Kzoo and Krazy and Nate and I though, we are safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopped Liver Posted June 17, 2014 Share #8 Posted June 17, 2014 I automate as much of my stuff as possible....but since the execs keep changing shit, well....no, my job can't be automated. Not yet, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris... Posted June 17, 2014 Share #13 Posted June 17, 2014 Drones could replace most of the local deliveries in the old job. The new job has the technology, but someone still has to operate said technology. It's just more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Silly Posted June 17, 2014 Share #16 Posted June 17, 2014 I had a job that I wrote a macro and it 95% of the work. I didn't tell anyone and just sat around and babysat the macro for 3 years. That is when I found LF. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted June 17, 2014 Share #33 Posted June 17, 2014 No, because if it could be, they'd do it. Alternately (if I could keep it quiet) I'd find out how to build something for half the cost I was being paid annually, have it do the job, and then amortize the cost over several years to come out ahead.
