Arjun, this is a very well-written piece. I agree that AI could solve many problems, but human intervention and emotions are difficult to completely eliminate. For example, in publishing, it’s often said that AI can translate a book in two minutes, but it takes eight minutes to edit it. This highlights the importance of finding a balance between using technology and traditional methods to achieve greater efficiency.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts Himanshu. 'Balance' is probably going to be the key how we discern where we use our thinking and where we use AI.

You may want to check out Zeynep Pamuk's book called Politics and 'Expertise: How to Use Science in a Democratic Society', if you haven't already. I found some answers to similar questions in it.
