I think it’s a combination of things. One, they are good at synthesizing huge amounts of data and detecting trends, which is useful for surveillance if you’re not that hung up on being exactly right all the time. Two, they are very energy-costly, so their use drives up the price of energy, which drives up the price of fossil fuels.
And if there is a “free” labor force competing with humans for jobs then humans will be forced to accept lower pay, longer hours, and less benifits for more work.
What’s the point with this artifial intelligence race anyways? Why is there a sudden need for that after all?
I understand that AI as a tool can be useful for some tasks, but do we really need to go further than that?

Free labor. Humans are expensive, but robot slaves are comparatively cheap (hypothetically).
Ultracapitalists have a harder time getting a slave labor force, so robots that can think like people are the next best thing for that purpose.

And eventually, labor bargains will be obsolete. They won’t need us ever again. Top 1% live in utopia, rest of us living in slums
For the Benefit of Mankind.
