Comments
Also the poop thing is just something I would hear from a 1st grader.
Another reason is the fact that most work on board ships is maintenance, removing workers from a ship would mean keeping a ship longer in ports for regular maintenance and cleaning of holds, which is not economically viable.
Before looking for automation of the jobs, shipping companies will look to ways to reduce their fuel costs, as it is by far the largest continuous expense.
Machines can already play chess or fly planes though.
Why can't they sail the nth amount of seas?
