This is sort of tangental.. I think it's curious that in a lot of writing AI is almost being defined as that which replaces human labour. The context of technological unemployment and whatnot. In that frame, I think its natural that discomfort is linked to autonomy. Autonomous taxis & cruise control may be points on a continuum technically, but economically, no human involvement is different. Autonomy separates the PCs from the Looms. Cooperation where a human is involved the machine is tool use, recognizably. The humans labour gets more efficient with tools. More trinkets per human. Maybe the Luddites thought of looms as autonomous, with humans in a supporting role. Anyway, I think it's hard to predict where this goes on a 25y scale.
