It is the delusion of the Homo Economicus religion.

I think the problem is a strong tie network of inefficiency that is so vast across economic activity that it will take a long time to erode and replace.

The reason it feels like it is moving slow is because of the delusion the economy is made up a network of Homo Economicus agents who would instantaneously adopt the efficiencies of automated intelligence.

As opposed to the actual network of human beings who care about their lives because of a finite existence who don't have much to gain from economic activity changing at that speed.

That is different though than the David Graeber argument. A fun thought experiment that goes way too far and has little to do with reality.
