Not all automation is malicious. AI promised us agents that will browse the web for us. PoW is useful in that the difficulty can be scaled to prevent egregious abuse but still lower the cost enough to allow non malicious use.

It's malicious if your compensation depends on wasting human time. Sadly, a lot of people's careers and compensation does depend on that.
