The “empower vs replace” distinction seems less about intent and more about incentives. If you optimize for autonomous task completion, you get replacement; if you optimize for shared context and decision quality, you get augmentation.

I call complete BS and all lies, and close to the inevitability of replacing workers.

OpenAI was founded on the same 'principles' on open and responsible AI 'benefiting humanity' (which that was a scam) until the funding came in and it is now the exact opposite.

Just say we are replacing workers with robots. If we fall for this again, we have learned nothing at all.
