Visit a trade show of a specific industry and experience firsthand how naïve your viewpoint of automation is. The jump from one-shorting flappy bird to meaningful industrial automation is so large that I cringe every time I read a comment like this.

Steel manufacturing. Elevators. Plastics. Ball bearings. Chemicals. Pharmaceuticals. Electronics. Go to a trade show and visit the booths related to automation and talk to someone who has spent their career grinding against the meatspace problems of automation that robotics is a century away from addressing with positive ROI.
