Cory Doctorow calls this "reverse centaurs". His metaphor is human brain driving an augmented "body" as a "centaur" which means an ai "brain" doing the thinking and the humans just being cheaper, expendable robots doing the physical work is a "reverse centaur". It's kind of a clunky term but it's in my brain now for this concept so I guess it's a usable shorthand.
