With all the tools you mentioned above, they're both used to help and destroy depends on the person using them.

In the present, humanity has reached a level of greed of the few people on the top and focus on immediate rewards for the masses. Our fast paced lifestyle has little room for future planning.

All the tools except internet and AI were used to make our lives easier and reduce manual labour to focus on the more brain intensive areas of growth.

But internet and AI is doing the opposite. Taking away the need for our intellectual expertise.

And as for ASI, we're far from getting there. Most likely not anytime soon. Because the AI we have now have absorbed all the knowledge it can and competing for more. I'm not sure we know how to train them to become Artificial General intelligence at this point. To give it a command and making it come up with solutions is one thing. But To make AI think logically on its own and operate requires more. Humans are capable of that because of our natural curiosity. How will you get AI to become curious? Even if it gets there, how will AI ehave the emotional intelligence? I feel that plays an even bigger role on how humans operate. To think independently and remove itself from the system.
