I think most people would understand something like living "side by side with cars".
Even if not alive, you can live very close and shape your life by and with technology.
I don't take any issue with the OP's formulation.
Apart from the super intelligence bit. We are already struggling to build systems with enough memory to hold this brute force statistical approach, how exactly will AI fix this?
And Americans' lives have been heavily shaped by cars and the car industry in a negative way. So, a pretty apt comparison.
