> selling the benefit as being the AI taking a lot of the work off your shoulders; all you have to do is constantly check its work just in case it makes a mistake.
Cars can take you from place to place much faster than a horse can, all you have to do is learn to drive and constantly keep your hand on the wheel.

You do not seem to be engaging in good faith: the GP explicitly discusses "self-driving cars", which come with an expectation that you still need to be "just checking they work well", and we have already seen people not do that, or be bad at it (if you have to jump in in an emergency, that's exactly when you want to have been part of getting to that point to react properly).
You are debating how people should behave, when the reality is that does not happen except for a minority — meaning everybody needs to live in this reality.
