It's a process:

- People want agency.

- Once people have comfort and trust that it does things right enough of the time, people no longer want agency.

That threshold varies task-by-task and person-by-person.

This was exemplified to me by the recent Tesla Full Self Driving trial that was installed on my car. When using it, my want of agency was constant -- it was excruciating to co-pilot the car with my hands on the wheel necessarily ready to take over at any moment. It was not "right enough of the time" for me.

The tradeoff is more complicated:

Automation tech frees up time but takes away agency and opportunity in exchange.

Empowerment tech creates opportunity and increases agency, but it needs you to have time and resources, and these costs can easily increase existing gaps between social classes.

Pretty interesting to me that we're starting to go from humans programming computers to computers programming humans.

Yep, the more we take AI "advice" the more we're becoming the agents of AI rather than the AI being an agent of us

I think the movie "Her" buried the lead. Why have a girlfriend in one's ear when one could have a compilation of great entrepreneurs multimodally telling you what to do?
