I can see the harms automation does in a capitalist society by putting people out of jobs, but what about in an anarchist society? By automation I am only talking about robotic automation for the production and delivery of goods or for services, not artificial intelligence or LLMs.

    Yeah, automation is fine, so long as it’s not in service to the profit motive.

    You might get some disagreement from some of the anarcho-primitivists/indiginists/etc. (And I do think there’s a lot of good stuff to be learned from their theories.) But I don’t have a problem with “automation” per se.
