And humans want to replace some of this shit with robots.

Window washer working on sky scrappers? Sure, I guess it is a job that can be done by robots.

Bricklayer? Why the fuck???

For one thing it is a tough, dirty, physically taxing job. If you can reduce the strain on humans and not wear them out as fast I'd call it a win..

Sure, but I'd imagine that Joe the Bricklayer may have a slightly different reaction when you tell him the exciting news that he doesn't have to lay bricks anymore because a robot can do it.
