It does help with expensive fillings, cleaning, and other dental operations that can be readily avoided by keeping a habit of brushing your teeth twice a day and watching your sugar input.

But we can just print more, so we're already one step closer to socialism.

We don't know what complete automation will do for out society and the economy, and we sure as hell shouldn't see it as the miracle solution. When automation was first rolled out, people hated it because it cheapened the costs of labor, i.e. it fired everybody who did what that robot did. Our stance on value and commodity will change at the point, and I don't know how that will turn out or what it will look like for sure. Sure, you can pursue your hobbies and have free time to do as you wish, but is food and shelter simply distributed to you with no strings or stipulations? Do you have a say in what kind of food and shelter is given to you? How will bureaucracy complicate and legislate automation? What happens to all the leftovers of the old ways, like taxes, debts, loans, and repayments?
