I see your point but how do we distinguish those wealth effects while abandoning the mentality that drove/financed/developed its existence? Like, at what point do we realize the atomic bomb was more destructive than good? If we couldn't be responsible with traditional finance/banking practices how can we so decidedly assume that it (AI) will actually serve a benefit to society? Are we bored? Are we overstimulated? Can we recognize what a benefit is at all?
And that's not to say exploring AI isn't worthwhile at all but it looks like the boundaries between thought/human emotion/connection are being blurred to the point that I wonder how man's conscience will safely see it through. While our understanding of value has only significantly shifted with the evolution of bitcoin, I consider it infant in its life and I wonder how much of tech growth is actually natural because of the misaligned incentives that promulgate its development.
While I do believe that the curiosity to explore intelligence is organic I just have to wonder what we're turning into, what my children are turning into and what repercussions might actually be irreversible.
