Automation in its current ability to replace labor is rather ubiquitous. It doesn't replace a means of labor entirely as much as it diminishes the work necessary to ultimately provide the good or service - think what the industrial did for farming over the centuries and how labor shifted in regards there. Before the industrial revolution we had an agrarian economy where almost everyone farmed. Now practically nobody does but products of which are provided more than ever.

AI allows anyone to write with a similar style to that of another currently so long as there is enough of a sample size to provide to train the AI. I don't think AI will replace the best writers of fiction but it will be used as a tool to produce similar content quicker. Depending on the type of fiction this will be easier to do but for creating unique narratives AI will likely not provide as much assistance beyond some form of a useful template. Ai or automation in general is more likely to reduce work towards documentation or perhaps non-fiction pieces.

Exploring the socioeconomic conditions of the post-WWII world and its trajectory is the differentiation. If the conditions of the past were changed such that any other country effectively won WWII via no loss to their industrial production most would've likely followed a similar path as America did as far as a proclivity towards neoliberal regulation is concerned. America is only different because it was not in Europe. Instead Europe was all destroyed and they all had to come together for better means rather than perpetually endorse their own destruction. The United Kingdom certainly did adopt more neoliberal regulation than most relative to the EU and I believe there exists a similar logic that explains this difference.

Was this made by a different person? The other one had humans in it with a clear message of some sort. This is almost the opposite despite looking similar.
