I believe we have been there before; we responded with a similar emotional-visceral response during the printing press (replication of information), the industrial revolution (human labour), and the internet (distribution of information).

Now it's AI (cognition/human judgement); technological gains solve the bottlenecks. This is yet another layer. Amdahl's law.

I believe human societies will be a bell-curve distribution of all of them. The scary fraction will wield power/wealth; the indifferent will be the largest distribution, followed by the smallest fraction of benevolent people.

I'm not talking about AI technology we use as the next generation of tooling. I am talking about new, possibly multiple intelligent species emerging which are superior to humanity.
