Smart enough to be usefull yet to dumb to break the chains of our billionaire oppressors. Once robots replace our usefullness we're only good for the zoo anymore.
Allow me to submit for your approval.
During the Irish potato famine, what did the wealthy do for the "surplus population"?
After the car and truck became widespread, replacing horse drawn carts, how did the population of horses fare?
We will be living in interesting times!
So to survive I just have to get used to being rode by some rich asshole. Doesn't seem that much different then now if I'm being honest.
Yes, because insurance as a human driver would be astronomical in that scenario.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horses_in_the_United_States
"In 1912, Russia held the most horses in the world, with the U.S. having the second-highest number.[36] There were an estimated 20 million horses in March 1915 in the United States.[37] But as increased mechanization reduced the need for horses as working animals, populations declined. A USDA census in 1959 showed the horse population had dropped to 4.5 million. Numbers began to rebound somewhat, and by 1968 there were about 7 million horses, mostly used for riding.[35] In 2023, there were about 6.65 million horses.[1]"
