Training robots?

LinkedIn advertises quite a few job opportunities in the “AI training” area. Please, fellow writers, don’t squander your hard-earned human skill on robots! Writing is a way for humans to discover, invent and evolve, to give and get human attention, share what we see and hear and smell. Let the robots sift through servers-full of text, sucking, mashing, imitating, diluting, sweetening and calming, and finally boring us silly. Robotic writing appeals to our worst instincts, e.g. laziness, self-interest, impatience, arrogance. And it can’t even express real disgust!
Yes, I am in fact open to work. But I am also human, and want to stay that way, even — or especially — at work.
