Cory Doctorow picked up on the article in his daily Pluralistic blog/commentary, Reverse centaurs and the failure of AI. [1]

(He says that the "centaur" terminology is used in automation circles; a centaur system is one in which the machine helps the human, and a reverse centaur system is one in which the human serves the machine.)
