It's funny how in most old scifi they showed a future where we as a society had AI working labor intensive jobs but art was a human-only activity. I guess we didn't account for how bad capitalism was going to overpower our value.

I think artists like Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock have done a lot to preserve the humanity of art. For Andy, he would never need an AI to generate a soup can. Even if he did it's Andys commentary and perspective that is coveted. The same is true of the most intricate paintings or sculptures and their creators. Jackson showed us the act of making art is just as interesting as the art itself. An AI could pop out a million abstract pieces that looked exactly like a Pollock but... it will never be a Pollock. AI is no more a threat to art and the people who make art than the camera was.

As of now, here is no humanoid AI robot replacing manual labor, just trained AI software/tools/APIs that run on computers and perform some specific and somewhat complex tasks.

The movement that attacked machines because it was replacing manual labour is from 1811

Let me put it big letters the part that you missed:

So for it to fit your description, the social changes impacting technology have to clock into work like a dinosaur from the Flintstones, and look like Rosie from the Jetsons, otherwise, automation of manual labor has no impact on society and social dynamics
