-   Reflecting upon the use cases of current AI, they feel mostly boil down to doing something you could feasibly have done before, but now you can do it faster, and yourself rather than needing help from others.
    -   I suppose that's pretty much a description of all technology.
    -   So the question is do you really need to do it that fast? How come? At what cost? (As with all technology).
    -   If a technology can be used to  increase emancipation, reduce toil, for all, without exploiting labour or nature, then good. If not, scrutiny is required.
    -   AI can reduce toil, the others seem uncertain.
