You wouldn't have the computer you're complaining from without hundreds of years of automation and tools making labor more efficient to make it happen.

Or, with the number of people on the planet, even 1% of the food it takes for you to not die.

With humans having created these tools. Now the goal is to automate the humans away as much as possible. Complete shift from the past examples and experiences you've mentioned.

You're drawing an imaginary distinction between exactly identical things.

AI is just another tool used by a human. Even an actual general AI is only a tool used by a human.

If someone is telling you AI is magic, they're not an expert.

They're a con man.
