On LinkedIn the CEO of a company called Hypervision is boosting his AI / "holographic" replacement for actual airport information staff.
A commenter called it dystopian. This was his reply:

Economics is a great example. You can have an increase in average income for a nation, while also having more people in poverty than ever before. To say that the economy is better because average incomes are higher would be like saying humans now live longer because average lifespan has increased.

On average, people live longer today than they did 100 years ago. But that doesn’t mean that the human species has become capable of living longer. The average has improved because fewer women and children die in childbirth. But people invariably mix these up.
