Machines eliminate drudgery, freeing up time for better, more important things and doing things efficiently creates abundance. Simplicity is romanticised, I'd like to let things that can do themselves go do themselves allowing me more time for the fun parts. That's not to say 'turn off your brain' but backbreaking and mind numbing work isn't fun or noble. Whoever's doing it would rather not do it or has the option to NOT do it but chooses to. Those aren't the same thing.

> he who carries the heart of a machine in his breast loses his simplicity.

A lot of these AI guys seem pretty simple to me...
