It's a very interesting take on the issue. Certainly later adopters of a technology need far more ergonomic scaffolding to get the value out of it - the early majority typically need GUI and the late majority and laggards need it to be embedded a in a wider product, its technological characteristics effectively hidden. My concern is that if, as you say, AI also boosts returns to capital and unless the ability to contribute to the scaffolding process itself is also broadened by GUI and embeddedness, then it could end up with the very wealthy and a small cadre of exceptional technocrats pulling even further away from an increasingly resentful middle class which sees itself, despite all its efforts to 'get ahead', slipping back towards the more precarious conditions of those at the lower income levels. And as we may be seeing at the moment, the devil makes work for redundant elites.
