The analogy still works and we get the idea.
Maybe a better analogy might be a car with an automatic transmission, although that doesn’t capture the pitfalls of AI very well. It could be argued that a good automatic transmission has none of the serious downsides that AI has.
Still, the general idea is sometimes getting stuff faster with less effort more automatically is more important than the “reward” of doing it yourself.
