Wow, how about twisting what I said into something unrecognizable. We've got far too many people with more ideology than sense, and money for these people is just a stepping stone for said ideologies at best...

Deep Neural Networks to Detect Weeds from Crops in Agricultural Environments in Real-Time: A Review
Automation, including machine learning technologies, are becoming increasingly crucial in agriculture to increase productivity. Machine vision is one of the most popular parts of machine learning and has been widely used where advanced automation and control have been required. The trend has...

‘An army of robots’ and zero human workers will build a dam in China
Artificial intelligence at the heart of the project on the Tibetan plateau will build the structure slice by slice, with no human workers.

Riiiiggghhhhtttt.... I don't see how this could possibly go wrong... oh wait I can. Hopefully, the stupid things have human oversight or else you may encounter a few problems while they are building because someone programmed in the instructions wrong.
This is pretty much the age of hubris coming out and fucking people up.
Every one is suffering from this problem however.

There's hubris then there is an idiot saying 'build according to the blueprint'. Only for the building owner to drag him onto the floor to reveal a wall has been built THROUGH the assembly line.

Oh my gosh, this is going to be one of the most comedic (and hopefully not tragic) wastes of money the CCP manages yet.
Anyone want to place bets on what percentage of intended height it gets to before partial or total collapse?
I'm betting somewhere between fifty and sixty percent.

Automation isn't an issue, it's the companies and people behind it that are. There is no reason at all it leads to unemployment naturally.

The real comedy is going to be outdated 1950s era takes like this when China is the world's largest economy and the United States has underwent it's own version of the Soviet collapse. Every single serious, sober analysis of Chinese AI abilities has them either matching us or surpassing us; Department of Defense has effectively already conceded the Chinese Industrial base has overtaken us with all that entails to any sort of long term struggle.

It's amusing that you think that.
Combine this with the awkwardness of trying to replace human labor completely with robots, instead of having the two complement each other, and things will get interesting.

The thing is, this probably makes the robots more desirable. The robot's not going to steal supplies nor use bamboo in place of steel unless it's deliberately programmed to and in that case they will have an obvious trail to who did it. removing the human element in a super-corrupt society is desirable for the leadership.

You really think that the paper trail for the current projects doesn't clearly indicate just who is responsible? You think the people doing the actual physical work can't tell you exactly who delivered their materials?
The problem isn't the foreman on the project, it's the people further up and back the chain, and the corrupt officials they're paying bribes to. None of that is going to be changed by automating things; if anything, less human eyes on will make it easier to try to hide who did what.

The fact you have to cite a Youtube search list, not even a single video in particular, really says it all and that's not even getting into the fact said search list doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand. When you're serious about wanting to look this stuff, you'll find things like this from the Belfer Center:
Chinese investments in AI research and development have surged to American levels, and the results are beginning to show it. The blunt truth is that China is laying the intellectual groundwork for a generational advantage in AI. According to the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence’s authoritative assessment, China would overtake the United States in 2019 in the most-cited 50 percent of AI papers. It will take the lead in the most-cited 10 percent this year. And by 2025, the United States will fall to second in the top 1 percent of papers.32 (Fortunately, in breakthrough papers, China remains behind.) In public patents for AI technologies, China passed the United States in 2015, and in 2018 filed 2.5 times more than America.33 In machine learning’s hottest subfield—deep learning—China has six times more patent publications than the United States. (Raw numbers, however, must be taken with a grain of salt, since not all patents are equal.)

Now multiply that by several orders of magnitude due to the proliferation of biotech...
If you think such things will not be used against you then you are a fool.
