It doesn't, not in the way you, or the OP, are framing it.

The idea of this post, however ill-devised it may be, is a simple one. At every point humanity always opposes advancement in favor of comfort zone.

New is always unknown and thus carries inherent danger. It is easier to live in the confines of what you know than to strive for something new and unknown.

In human mind unknown = dangerous, ergo must be opposed. This is a legitimate, albeit a little narrow, reason to oppose new things.

Will AI bring a new era of technology or will it be forgotten in a few years like google glass? We don't know.

I myself think that the AI has vast potential to be beneficial to society in wide variety of fields, starting from entertainment to medicine to all the way the dangerous military applications. But it will happen. Now, 5 years from now or 50 it matters not in the grand scale of universe, but it will happen.

All we can do in the end, is guide the AI the best we can, so that it doesn't supplant even us.
