Remember that automation is not about removing effort, it's all about packaging it in convenient ways so that it can be stored and moved around. Sometimes you get some savings due to bunching up of similar things or economy of scale, but most of the time the perceived savings are simply because the real effort is hidden away or deferred. Whether it's Jacquard looms, language models, github actions, self-driving cars, or robot food delivery, someone is doing (or has done, or will do) the work.

@dcz I think that the cases where the effect is different from the intention are good to know about, especially when there are long-lasting consequences.

A washing machine is intended to remove the effort of its owner, and is indeed successful at it. But sometimes it's good to be aware where that effort goes when it's removed. And I think it's especially important when thinking about automating software tasks, because you don't necessarily get the savings you get with physical infrastructure.
