reverse centaur

A machine that uses a human being as its assistant.

A reverse centaur can occur when companies force workers to use technology in ways that make their lives worse. For example, a worker might be forced to use AI to generate absurd amounts of comment that he cannot reasonably review but is still held accountable for the result of the AI. The worker cannot keep up at the pace of the technology but is there to be blamed for failures.

This is in contrast to a human being that uses a machine as an assistant (a “centaur”). In this case workers get to decide when and how to use the technology to their benefit and satisfaction.
The software engineer hated being a reverse centaur.
