Huh I read a dystopian short story about AI micro-managing workers, constantly telling them what to do next to optimize productivity. It ends with near "perfect" dystopian wealth concentration. While in another part of the world they used AI to create a utopia.

Oh it was called Manna by Marshall Brain

The gradual takeover of jobs by AI (starting with fast food), The warehousing of the unemployed in state-controlled facilities, A techno-utopian alternative (Australia) where AI liberates rather than enslaves.

Wow, I remember finding that story 20-odd years ago but could never remember the title or author. Pretty good short story IIRC, and more relevant than ever, it's themes have been on my mind on and off quite a bit these past few years.
