The question is whether that's a bad thing. Sure, in the short term, it causes disruptions and job loss, but if we can steer ourselves towards a better future through it's use, then it may be a net win, if not for the current populace, than for its descendants.

The question is, can we steer ourselves, will we blindly stumble into this better tomorrow, or are we heading for a crash? The past gives clues based on prior outcomes, but only a fool would blindly expect models to scale indefinitely in the real world.

Agree, but the problem is that even short term is at least a decade and probably a major crisis before we will find a new solution to how to deal with that. And so a lot of people are going to find themselves without jobs without anyway to get a new one, my parents for instance and most probably myself at one point too.
