      Machines make your life chill.

      Buisness owners though strive for hell.

      And working class likes it. Otherwise where strikes.

        There's an almost unlimited amount of work to do. The elderly/children to care for, the art to be made, the research to be done, etc. Tractors freed up a huge amount of the world population to work on other things, current technology does the same.

        The problem is that humans have made a system of tightly controlling what work gets valued, how much it gets paid, what should be done and gatekeeping qualifications/resources to be allowed to do things.

            Modern horses usually have a short rough life and they are sent to the sausage factory from slightest joint ache. Luckiest end up in some petting farm.

                Where do you even get that from? Most horses are pampered lawn ornaments.

                  Depends very much on the country they are in. Racehorses don't tend to live very long and there's still places where horses are being used for transportation, especially in remote mountainous regions.

                    Because with productivity the standard of living that most people expect has risen at least as much.

                            Maybe they can find a side show in Tijuana:

                            There's plenty for a horse-like aminal to do apparently.

                              There are geographical differences, but in most places their upkeep is expensive and they are mostly used for racing or as beasts of burden. They don't need much health problems to loose their worth and go to the butchers real easy.

                                It's a bad metaphor. Tractors are actually useful, AI is garbage.

                                Just because you might not understand it or see any viable use-case doesn't make it garbage.
                                Maybe to you. I like LLMs and use different ones for different needs, knowing their limitation.

                                  Do you prefer eternal stagnacy just to keep unskilled jobs?
                                  No judgment towards "unskilled" but some jobs just die out and create new jobs.
                                  The horse's carts might be gone, but we have cars now with millions of diverse jobs plus legwork.
                                  I prefer a car over a horse-ride.
                                  And a house over a hut.
                                  And mobile phones over smoke-signals or pidgeons.

                                      We gave up "all-flat-terrain", carbon neutral, semi-self driving things and got "this road is not paved so I'll shake you so much that your baby will die", "created new jobs: climate disaster control", "just currently getting some self-driving capabilities".

                                      I'm half-joking of course, cars are great for long distance travel but you could argue humanity would be far better (apart from GDP) if we have no roads in the cities.

                                        The middle class is a lie pushed by the rich to keep the working class subservient.
