Didn’t he just make an episode of Black Mirror depicting the opposite?

I don't think so. He says he isn't afraid of AI replacing creative jobs because it's incapable of originality and as a result, boring. The episode you're referencing didn't depict the opposite. There was a quantum computer that was only capable of producing a show that recreated data from the protagonist's life in real time. It was always limited by actual events as they played out. That episode seems fairly consistent with his views.
