This is an interesting thought experiment, but I imagine it having precisely the opposite effect. Modernism, as a technology, works precisely by making power relationships seem obvious, natural, and therefore not something subject to critique. These relationships include definitions of gender, race, and class, as well as capitalist and colonial relationships, and many more. Probably the most salient power relationship to this article is deciding who should benefit from the work of robots. Acting through computers amplifies this effect, and makes it easier to uphold oppressive power relationships while keeping one's hands clean. I recognize that this is not immediately an empirical claim, but I will observe that discarding it offhand in favor of the equally ideological dominant interpretation would be exactly the dynamic I'm pointing out.
