Talk:Automaton Creation/@comment-24729606-20190322201128

I will admit I can see the economic potential of automatons but just like how many jobs humans once performed have since been taken over by machines (the automotive and manufacturing sectors being the best known examples) so too would the same problems arise with automatons. firstly because (like robotics and other digital beings) automatons have no mind or intelligence to speak one would have to assume the users and/or owners of the automatons were using them in a responsible, ethic, and environmentally friendly manner. if this proved not to be the case then I refer you to the VW emissions scandal which while it might not have been averted with an entirely human assembly line manufacturing process might not have involved quite as large of a recall. not to mention the activism that is brought into play whenever a job a person performed is taken over by a machine. not to mention that unlike robotic automatons (by virtue of being magical and/or mystical operationally speaking) would be vulnerable not so much to hacking by magical interference and its attendant web of potential consequences.
