Isn't most technology generally about "product motion toward comfort maximizing over all things"? Isn't a can opener "comfort maximizing"? Bicycles comfort maximize over walking the same distance and leave more time for leisure. We use tractors to till the soil because tilling it by dragging plows by hand or by livestock was far less comfortable and led less time for other pursuits.

"AI" might be a good thing or a bad thing especially depending on the context and implementation, but just generally saying something is about maximizing comfort as some inherently bad goal seems off to me.
