Take that learning away and how does someone know what to tell/direct an AI bot to do? If they've never done the steps before, how do they know what is right or wrong?
The people making the decision to replace entry level jobs with AI absolutely do not care about the lack of training. That is a future problem, not their problem.
As a side note, many "manuals" that come with equipment fall into the last category. Clearly the people "writing" the manual have never done what they're telling you to do. Had they done so, the numerous quirks and confusions wouldn't be there.
Of course they don't. The people that write the manuals are Tech writers not users and not engineers.
The user or engineer writes the instructions and the Tech writer dresses it up so it looks nice gives it back to the user or engineer to review.
They iterate that until they have a decent manual--at least that's what's supposed to happen.

Do we have to abuse every word until its meaningless.
You can call them extremists, when the bomb some data-center, or gun down a group of intellectual property attorneys at the firms anal barbecue.
Until I think we can go with 'activists' or maybe even 'agitators', hell 'criminal offenders' if you wish, but extremists is kind of a weird take.

The burden of proof continues to shift to the accused?
Clearly the state's evidence was faulty and the tools they're using are suspect.
The only reason this person was not unjustly dragged into court and very likely
coerced to plead guilty to a crime they did not commit
was that they paid for and submitted to constant surveillance.

Or in this case, harm reduction.
Sounds like he's realized the climate is screwed and we are completely incapable of thinking far enough ahead to do anything about it.
As the effects of climate change continue to appear, we can address them on a case-by-case basis...if those effects directly involve anything we care about right now.
Meanwhile we should forget about fixing the root cause and apply our efforts where they might have some effect.

Recording over time and later studying the actual prices from the real-world subject (Amazon) would be in situ.
Relying on self-reported info from that same clearly biased subject is just an unreliable study.
