Indeed. If you squint a little, it kind of looks like the machines are trying to shift to a world where we are just meat puppets to do the tricky stuff there aren't robotics for (yet). :(
Or humans are just the "sex organs" that work to bring about the artificial life-forms that come next.
Cory Doctorow's "The Reverse-Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI" [1] agrees with you:
"<...> a reverse centaur is machine head on a human body, a person who is serving as a squishy meat appendage for an uncaring machine."
