It's not just the humans being linked to computers. They're also linked to other humans.

Unless AIs have a higher ethical standard, free will for humans will become more and more an illusion. Edit: I'm thinking of Ian Banks' Culture novels. In Excession, there's a ship mind that doesn't respect human autonomy. Other ship minds call it "meatfucker". As a slur.
