If it can match the old technology only by adding instruments and procedurs, isn't it actually worse?
Nope, just different.

There are several examples where a force-feedback control would actually be more dangerous than less in the event of a malfunction.

Airbus took a radical option with sidesticks.
I believe they did not consult properly.
They did not evaluate properly.
Pilots were not central parameters in the equation.
AI was already betting on a single pilot operation,
just waiting for the day they simply would do without.
With all due respect, what utter rubbish.

Yet again you say the same thing over and over without a shred of proof other than your 'opinion'. Having spoken to some of the people who worked on the project, pilots were no less central in the equation than anyone else in the airline industry. That 'AI was .. betting on single pilot operation' is a terrible slur and utterly unfounded.
