Computers are tools that exist to serve humans. Humans should never be asked to become subservient to computers. Your suggestion is ludicrous and risible.

The ability to adapt to changing environment is one of core properties of life. You cannot un-invent the printing press. Imagine making an argument "nooooo you cannot print books, it takes away the human element" and then "nooooo you cannot write down stories, it takes away the human element" and then being obliberated by a civilization that embraced new inventions instead of rejecting them based on "no means no".
