I see something entirely different.

"mass production" is a benefit to an Industrial Civiliation, which is Humanity.

Its not too difficult to see how "mass production" drove a higher rate of employment.

A cheap, "good enough" AI is no difference. I work in manufacturing for over 30 years, I 3D print and I am learning to use the AI to help me create my models faster. I hope soon I can do far more, focusing on the interesting parts while the AI does the boring parts.

Nothing is different from what is happening in the last 200 years.
