One big issue I haven't seen addressed in these types of critiques: equating business with humanity.
To elaborate: if a CEO or Happy Worker Joe uses AI to write his Excel Sheets and Typist Jane codes their yet another website in less than two hours without coding knowledge (I know! It's amazing!), does that mean we're loosing our sense of self, or whatever?
Well, if it does, equating human with business has already done that a long time ago. Why complaining now? Only because AI is accelerating it?
If it doesn't, there are plenty of other areas outside work when one can actually be human.
