Roy sighs. Once, The Daily Argus had fact-checkers, copy editors, legal advisers. Those people are gone now, and in their place there’s the Farm: a virtual machine populated with copies of a few trillion different bots.
This reminds me of how I always thought the future would be AI working in place of humans. I think the farm symbolizes AI that is able to do the work that humans do. I find this scary, yet a possible reality in the future. Although there are many benefits to AI doing the work of humans, the fact that millions can lose their jobs is devastating.
