A firm providing AI drive-thru tech to fast food chains actually relies on human workers to take orders 70% of the time::Presto Automations recently admitted that most of the orders taken by its AI drive-thru chatbot are actually assisted by off-site human workers.

You're suffering a condition caused by capitalist propaganda where even though you recognise it's terrible you can't imagine anything except capitalism.

You throw in some emotive nazi imagery and firebrand anticap talking points but your argument is nothing more than 'capitalism is inevitable and our only option is to fight to be the beast consumer'

Technological developments have continually changed the world for the better, you have access to s standard of living which would blow the mind of a Victorian aristocrat, luxuries they could barely imagine. Access to information is better and far far cheaper than any time in history and by huge margins - go read Jude the obscure and try to find a single thing in that book which would be a problem today -- the boy would be a Latin scholar for a start.

Ai has already benefited humanity in a myriad of ways and it's going to continue getting more useful and making people's lives better - especially those in currently deprived or underdeveloped communities.
