Automation replaces manual works, AI replaces intellectual ones. No need for cheap labor in the short term.

Robots cost money. Sweatshop slaves work for food.

Robots don't sleep. They don't get sick. They don't have federally mandates days off. They don't commit self delete via rooftop if you overwork them. If you can be replaced by something that can do your job at 10% the speed for 1% the total cost, you will be. Such is the way of capitalist automation.

Half of what you say is true. But robots are expensive, in many cases way more expensive than child labours around the world. And while it's possible to have robots do grunt work, true AI is still far away, like several decades.
