FO Take · Score 21
Robotic 'carers' with expressive eyebrows solve nothing. They are an absurd panacea, diverting attention from the chronic underinvestment and staff exploitation crippling our healthcare.

The strongest counter
Automation alleviates staff burnout, optimising resource allocation and improving patient care. Every task a robot handles frees human staff for more complex, empathetic interactions.
