The idiom in question by OP and TFA is "to live side by side with", lauding AI with a life and ranking it a neighbor hierarchy wise.

I don't live side by side with the possibility of an asteroid impact, nuclear war, etc., I just live with that possibility.

It's essentially the same concept. Here are some examples:

> "The authors discuss two enduring lessons of the Internet revolution: The first is that new technologies do not replace the old. They live side by side."

No, but idiomatically, you already live side by side with AI, and will do so even more in future, whether you like the idiom or the actual experience, or not.
