I agree with most of what you are saying, but when I read the letter my mind goes to the economic impact it could have.
A tool like this could bring humans prosperity but with the current socioeconomic conditions we live under it seems it will do the opposite. In my mind that problem feels insurmountable so maybe we just let it sort itself out? Conventional wisdom would say that tools like this should allow society to have UBI or a 4 day work week but in reality the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.
