I can only image what Rod Serling would think as we live in the twilight zone. At that time, smart appliances were considered a thing of horror. Little could he have known...

There is a Waymo car wash/detail station I drive by occasionally. During the summer, 115+ days in the Phoenix sun you witness driver-less cars queue up and a team of people laboring in the sun detailing the exterior of the car.

Now I am seeing DoorDash robots being followed around by a person on a bicycle wearing traffic vests....very much putting themselves between the robot vehicle and traffic.

Humans at service to the robots.

It seems to me that the jobs that SHOULD be turned over to AI are the CEO, COO, CFO, and other executive level positions. AI should be assuming those jobs not production jobs. Think of the cost reductions...no more golden parachutes, no more BONUSES, no more self-serving decision making. THOSE are the jobs that need to be turned over to AI...starting with MUSK!!
