Unfortunately I don't think they are wrong about it changing everything, I just don't think it will be a positive change for most people.
Yeah this couldn't be more of a bad opinion that doesn't reflect what is actually happening if it tried. The entire world is racing to create an AI nightmare, and because game theory safety isn't even happening and some people imagine themselves ushering in the next age of evolution only to find we'll be turned into paperclips and the intelligence they gave birth to is so misaligned as to follow us perfectly of the cliff holding us in their hand.
