The Robot Is Doing My Job

Me: I don’t think there will ever be a robot doing my job The roхbot:

A homemade wooden-and-metal robot operates a mechanical hand that brings a cigarette to its mouth and smokes. The joke mocks the claim that robots will never replace someone’s job by showing an absurdly primitive robot already performing a human smoking ritual, while Édith Piaf’s dramatic French chanson “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” makes the moment feel comically grand and triumphant.
