Oh, that's bs. You could say that about the tractor, or the mechanical loom, or any of the other incredible labor-saving inventions over the last two hundred years.

It's a really complex machine, but it's still a machine.

I think thats deeply uncharitable and fundementally superficial.

I think people (many/most) don't want slaves.
