Cars replaced horses, cause they were clearly better at their job. Humans' primary labor value to society at large comes from their brains, and ability to do multiple physical tasks, some featuring precise movements, with little instruction/development.
The idea that computers and general purpose robots cannot possibly replace humans is no longer outrageous to me. Especially if we are talking about a few key humans controlling / managing multiple robots to do what was previously the work of N humans.

It’s not. My point is that already was the case. We already have computers, robots, automation, machines which are better than humans in any task you’ll give them. And they still don’t replace humans, because humans will do other things.
You will always only replace tasks, never people. The question isn’t man vs machine, it’s man and machine vs only machine.
I think humans should have a strong incentive to never let this become reality
I do not want to see the bloodbath that will follow
And I do pretty strongly think that is the trajectory we're on. We cannot create utopia for 1% of the population and purgatory for the other 99% and expect people to just sit still and take it
