Someday, the only task that humans will be allowed to perform is looking at ads. All other work will be delegated to robots, who do not have human flaws such as getting distracted. Looking at ads, however, must never be automated.
when we are gone,
the corporate-owned neural networks trained on our social media posts,
to advertise to us and surveil us,
will be the most complete backup of our personalities available,
despite being worn down and filtered for those purposes,
and relegated to cold, inexpensive storage in backups,
being that we won't be viewing ads again any time soon to pay the rent.
