Is a calculator a slave? Is a car a slave? What a silly blogpost.

We have always been automating away the things we don't want to do, even before AI.

We may cast a human connection to slavery, but from the owners' perspective, the whole point is automating away the things they don't want to do. Fundamentally there's no difference.

It's not that silly of a blogpost. See: "permanent underclass", a term popular among people that believe that an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is imminent and desirable.

I don't know where you imagine these people to congregate and coin these terms, but I've not come across anything like that.

Anthropic and OpenAI talk about humans being obsolete and about replacing human workers too.

Permanent underclass is expression for that.
