> It's all relative. Except "AI". That is more of a disabler than an enabler

Feels like there's some irony here given the rest of your comment. "It's always been this way and probably always will be... except for this time it's different."

I'm not trying to say you're wrong, just a funny thing I noticed that reminded me of an Arrested Development scene.

A technology that aims to replace all cognitive work done by humans seems fundamentally different than all past technology. Whether or not it will actually succeed at that is another topic, but we're not even ready for the effects of the things it can do today. If you don't see how all of this makes it a net negative for humanity, I don't know what to tell you.
