I was coming back to the next thought a few times, so maybe it's time to write it down: the dehumanising race to replace people with chatbots and robots (specifically) by the elites really reminds me one particular sci-fi piece - The Robots of Dawn by Asimov. The people of the planet Aurora there were accustomed to the extreme individualism - everyone was living alone, surrounded only by their robots, able to communicate with other only virtually. Additionally, in the later novel Foundation and Earth, its protagonists visited another world, Solaria, from the same cohort, where this self-isolation in society transformed into the ultimate form """...where they find that the Solarians, ..., have genetically engineered themselves into self-reproducing hermaphrodites, generally intolerant of human physical presence or contact.""" PS: it's an endorsement to read these novels and chuckle about where the elites instincts lead them.
