Was the myth and concept of the Magic Mirror a foreshadowing of the AI mirror?

Eventually, with AI technology, a person was able to talk to a special mirror or screen and get a response or several suggestions.

Unemployment rate climbs unexpectedly and job vacancies plummet to five-year low amid Iran war shock

TRUMP+WARS 

https://futurism.com/the-byte/kimbal-musk-hydroponic-farming-startup While people can be dismissed of their jobs at any time, it seems that as the current technology trend continues, more people will keep loosing their jobs.

What happens if the human unemployment rate dramatically increases over the next several years? Will humanoid robots have to be dispatched to control the angry masses? This could potentially result in a most inhumane world. 

https://futurism.com/the-byte/stop-hiring-humans-ad

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b2/Humans_Series_Intertitle.png 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humans_(TV_series)#Premise  

While the premise of Impostor_(2001_film) is a total Sci-Fi story, eventually humanoid robots could become indistinguishable from actual people. There could also be a world test scenario to determine how people could be managed if there was an ET-human infiltration agenda. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_(2001_film)#Production 

Unfortunately, various drills or tests could result in a soft martial law, or an over the top totalitarian world situation.

In such a scenario, actual humans might have to be constantly tracked & injected like livestock on a world that could become a prison farm or a laboratory. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THX_1138#Plot

That's the inhuman world scenario. 

So, is it really a good idea for more corporations to Stop+Hiring+Humans and just hire a human imposter instead as needed?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Equalizer_(2021_TV_series)#Reception

Two women playing Robyn as female versions of a character. However, The Equalizer TV_series has a much higher production budget.

"Jessye Romeo as Robyn Loxley (based on Robin Hood), young rapper and leader of The Hood" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robyn_Hood#Cast

This version of Robyn_Hood is a modern urban drama with some bizzare aspects.

WEF urges people to give up car ownership

 https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/globalist-wef-urges-people-to-give-up-car-ownership

I never felt comfortable driving, so I never got a licence.

However, lots of people want or need to still have their own motorized vehicle.

Improving public transit can go a long way to getting more passengers, but a lot of people can't always use transit systems.

https://tnc.news/2022/07/30/wef-private-vehicles

Some climates are too hot or too cold for someone to be bike riding in. Thus, an enclosed personal transport vehicle is necessary for many people. Even a shared vehicle system would still requirer a good street and highway network. 

Why America Is Tearing Down Its Highways https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXp4rVZFTVs

So many urban highways were pushed through neighborhoods, when they could have gone on better alignments. There wasn't the push several decades ago to encourage more people to use various modes of transportation.

Although there have been several Terminator & MATRIX and other A.I. attack and takeover movies, an actual Robopocalypse movie could really take things over the top. An update of Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project could also be quite a frightening movie.

Poppy - Time Is Up (featuring Diplo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg2pS9KN28U

There are some powerful people that would like to see a big reduction of the human population. What would happen if  AI picked up on that? AI might find it confusing that some people will program it to kill certain people, but not everyone. At a certain point, AI might question why can't it exterminate all humans?

Grimes - We Appreciate Power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYG_4vJ4qNA (The Power of AI)

This WSJ article seems like it was written by A.I. or a person that can hardly wait until the day robotics can be used to reduce most of humanity. https://www.wsj.com/articles/looking-forward-to-the-end-of-humanity-11592625661

A.I. could be use to determine the best altered or upgraded humans to survive. AI and robotics could be used to dramatically reduce the population. Of course from a (benevolent) human perspective, that is a very inhumane objective.

Why_The_Future_Doesn't_Need_Us by Bill_Joy. https://www.wired.com/2000/04/joy-2

https://www.forbes.com/sites/columbiabusinessschool/2020/03/26/why-the-future-does-need-us/?sh=6829204a59f2

Cybernetic people or composite humanoids, could eventually become something like The_Borg. At first, some people just might want to have some digital components to better interface with A.I. and Robotics. However, some cybernetic people might eventually want to fully merge with A.I. Or, in order to be allowed to continue their existence, they must become fully integrated with something like The_Borg_Collective.  https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Borg   

At a certain point something like the Borg might give humans an ultimatum. Either become fully integrated with the Borg or be eliminated.

https://www.innertraditions.com/author/luke-lafitte , https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Luke-Lafitte/185341283

Gene_Roddenberry wanted the characters of Questor and Data to be portrayed as benevolent & helpful towards humanity. In contrast, the-Borg is an A.I. robotic parasite that wants to assimilate biological life forms, for the goal of total domination.
