None of those "knowing why others are stupid" and "AI is muchmuchmore useful" matters if the topic is rampaged and distorted by clueless pile of wealth into momentary apparent fame instead of developed sensibly. Crypto and blockchain could have had much better merit if it's reputation was not destoyed by forced through careless mania. The society will f up AI into something of a freak, maybe even quicker due to its powerful hence scary nature, if maniacs push into something where it causes serious damages or cathastrophy, triggering hard regulations and bans. At least for our lifetime, slowing its much needed introduction to life to several generations timespan. AI could, and probably will, be castrated rapidly by the frenzy of huge piles of clueless money.
