Since these stories are all so ancient, I perceive it is entirely possible they too could have added to the inspiration of 1984. Though Google mentions some of the inspiration was communist Russia. But, it also says inspiration was: We, The Iron Heel, Brave New World, and more.

But back to AI... Since the argument of adding automation (in this case AI), I perceive a shift, and not stupidity or brain-dead youth (though the movie Idiocracy showed that concept well). For that matter, WALL-E showed when work is taken away, people become fat lumps.
My head went all over the place, and did not sleep much last night, so I am subject to rambling (and not making sense?)... so I will hit the ending period of the moment (stopping my rambling).
