Someone was saying that even if using machines becomes cheaper than using humans, capitalist will still use humans because

"automation constitutes constant capital and human labour is variable capital

The Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall disproves that fact"

What do those mean?

    The AI follows the same logic, but instead of being a bottle of water its like a lake heaten to boiling temperaturas. It can pass a lot of heat onwards, but still cant create it on its own

      But in your example that is not a true AI able to work outside of its programming. I am discussing a true, thinking, machine.

      And if you say that a machine still has to learn that information from somewhere. How is that any different from a human?
