We don't want AI, we want systems that work better autonomously. We have lots of autonomous systems, mostly run by people (a shop keeper for a shop owner, for instance). Now that we have reached certain limits of pure digital systems, more innovations (ie, changes leading to better system outcomes) will happen due to human involvement in the data understanding and automation. It's just going to look more like people going to work. The idea that AI (ML models) would be designed once is silly. The tuning and application always involves human judgment over time. We just hide the human contributions to AI/ML systems because it gets too complicated. But really, all good/practicable/in-the-wild AI systems involve a lot of people-in-the-loop!
