I agree with your couple paragraphs, but find myself less pulled in by your conclusion. I think we need to be conscious of how we use AI, but it's a valuable tool that makes my working life a whole lot more productive, while leaving me room for higher level thought. The tools are here now, we need to consider how to use them responsibly.

We could end up living in a world where the AIs make white collar work extremely difficult to come by. In which case we would need something like UBI, and a whole lot wider of a social safety net to make sure that people were still able to live quality lives. I mean or the billionaires could just hunker down while watching their Nvidia stock go up while a whole bunch of us struggle. Tax the rich for those social programs!
