I don’t know anything about the writer, but this sure reads like the machine is doing more good than bad. Even touting that human jobs are being created, as if counting pigeons for an afternoon is sufficient to make up for having been replaced at the grocers by a machine.
Also, wouldn’t the machine needing to know how many pigeons you saw only need to know that because some other person asked it? In effect, isn’t this just ‘middle-machining’ a gig job between two people?
I half want to give it a go and just provide wrong results from my couch, collecting some of those sweet VC bucks.
Oh sure, I’d be happy as a peach counting pigeons for an afternoon. Trouble is it’s only for an afternoon where the grocer had me on a two week schedule.
Then again, might not be hired to count pigeons again when I put twelve million pigeons on my tps report haha.

Counting pigeons sounds nice. Out in nature, lots of fresh air, and you can afford food because you’re making twice what you make at the grocer.

Do you want to eat or do you want to afford rent next month? Maybe the machine has more pigeons to count.
Bring a second set of clothes and a hat.
