> In the anticipated symbiotic partnership, men will set the goals, formulate the hypotheses, determine the criteria, and perform the evaluations. Computing machines will do the routinizable work that must be done to prepare the way for insights and decisions in technical and scientific thinking.

This is how people that knew what are doing were using them, but the generalization of computing didn't include generalization of this knowledge so the side effects have been the opposite of this kind of symbiosis. We are condemned to do the drudgery to fulfill goals set by algorithms.

The author posits a time window for this symbiosis, maybe the time is up.
