This AI thing could be the final nail in the coffin of the dream that is a exciting technocratic future, something we are owed. AI in its advancement may continue to astonish us, up to a point where we believe we live in that future, but by proving glamours images of such a future, it fully pacifies us against any remaining zeal we had for it. The luddism and misanthropy that such visions may prompt will be available way before the future that those antagonism were truly meant for is ever manifest.
