I guess by better I mostly mean "without AI"
Machines should work. Humans should think.
Seems to imply people don't use Ai to shortcut their thinking and people don't think when they work.
The quote comes from long before this age of LLMs. We need robots (which do not spy on us) to wash our dishes and fold our laundry, freeing us to think and create.
