We get easily used to it because presumably the fundamental parameters of our lives will not change: we will still have to work for a living and so far advances in AI seem to simply help to increase inequality, the concentration of capital, and to tighten surveillance over workers' lives.

In the way it is now they just absorb the underlying deflation inherent to technological progress to allow more government debt and more zombie companies to survive.

Simply blaming the banks doesn't make much sense in isolation, either. I'm just saying that at the final count we see our lives stay the same except when they sometimes get worse and this has and will continue to affect our sense of wonder and our capacity to be surprised.
