”In the original 6 Frank Herbert novels, it’s not ever truly explained what problems, if any, the thinking machines were actually causing.”
Apologies if I have misunderstood you but I believe it was explained. See the following:
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
The quote I posted above is from Dune.
Yes, but it never goes into what actually happened - it's just the belief of the time.
And curiously a critical part of Golden Path became a reversal of major Butlerian Jihad effects, allowing humans to be free from feudal system
It get's into exactly what happened: humanity was enslaved by a small minority of people across the galaxy for 1000s of years. Where the Spacing Guild, Mentats, and Bene Gesserit were the three things to come after; but even then humanity is still enslaved but the amount of slavers increased.
This isn't a belief, it's describing the events exactly as they happened.
