> But our fate at the hand of clever cloggs robots may in fact be worse - to summon a class of eternally useless human beings.

Can't help but notice the sensationalist tone.

The author also seems to have a pessimistic view of the future and the role of humans in it. Certain roles may be replaced by AI and humans will move on to do different things, but that does not mean it will render those humans useless. What exactly will humans move on to do is of course an open ended question, but if history is any indication, it won't be bleak as the author predicts.
