> supersede human "labour" altogether

For certain types of labor this has always been the case.

The idea that AI will entirely replace all, or most, human labor makes no sense and is just AI hype.

Like all technology before it AI will improve most people's lives.

1. Let's be clear: what you're describing is faith.

2. And what are you smoking to assert "all technology before ... AI [improved] most people's lives"?

And what I am countering is not? You can easily argue technology generally improves lives. Is it optimal? Beyond abuse? No. Does it have unintended consequences? Yes. Are we better of without it? No.

OK social media is an unmitigated disaster, I'll give you that.

But, for example, nukes have given us the longest period of relative peace in history.
