So many concerning quotes that read like AI is a workaround for things that are not working right at scale in society.

I worry (1) AI workarounds will make it clear society can tolerate even more suck then (2) society will get worse to where AI is required to cope then (3) AI will stop being subsidized and the poor will get wrecked.

Well you could say that about any advancement.

"Electric lighting means I have time to read books." - omg society made people work during daylight! (This is a real issue in Africa btw, or at least was not very long ago.)

If AI leads to better medical diagnoses, great!
