Examples where computers are actually made to save routine manual labor seem to be few and far between. Mostly, computers of today are a form of nuisance (as described in this sad blog post[0]). These stories could have happened in the 1980s, and be just as impactful. You would think we're long past this, but it's AD 2022 and whole industries seem to only start noticing that automation exists, is possible, and is relevant to them.
I think that in many regards, automation is more or less fully used only in the IT industry itself, and maybe a couple more where computers actually are front and center. A lot of others, after having bitter experience with computers, seem more skeptical, maybe justly so.
Startups like you say seem to crop up now and then, but it seems to me that while you could have some dolce vita as an individual, this approach won't make a company rich.
