It would but I don't think that's what they're saying. The agent of dehumanization isn't the technology, but the selection of what the technology is applied to. Or like the quip "we made an AI that creates, freeing up more time for you to work."

Does that look like how we're applying it? The article seems to me to be much more focused on how this is actually being used right now rather than how it could be.
