Um, no. To be good at any of these things, you need to have lived in this world as a human and have real human concerns.

That's exactly why they are going to be replaced by AI, to prevent anyone from doing the job with real human concerns.

Plus most of the time there are so many bugs, patches, blah blah blah that need to come out first, why pay $60, $70+ when I can get the fixed/complete game later for 50% or more off?

Lots of games have bugs that literally never get fixed. Snowrunner has had an autosave stutter bug since day one which is still there. There is actually an open source patcher to fix the problem, and has been ages, and they STILL haven't fixed it, even though they could just copy the fix.

What I find compelling is waiting for all the DLCs to get released, because not long after that's done there is usually an all-in version which costs little more than the original base price. Although I broke this rule for myself and bought Snowrunner anyway, and the year 1 and 2 passes. In my defense, they were all on sale.

You actually have a greater need for efficiency under socialism because there are fewer people willing to put in the long hours at work.
[...]
Also the argument that we should be empathetic about them losing their jobs makes zero sense under socialism. The state will simply assign them new jobs.

People won't work long hours under socialism, but people will work whatever jobs they are assigned under socialism? You're going to have to pick one if you don't want people to know that you aren't actually thinking.

"people don't understand what a wavefunction is. Not the interpretation of it, the actual hard mathematical "this is what it is.""

Except that doesn't exist, you have to approach quantum effects through probabilities. That makes it literally the opposite of what you said!

Magnets, how the fuck do they work?

Seriously though, car driving is based on things which are good for survival that we were already good at. And the controls evolved to match those skills, we didn't evolve to be better drivers. We started out with a collection of levers loosely connected to the activity and now we have mostly wheels and buttons, and the levers we operate with our feet aren't really operated like levers either.
