Well, this is a summary of the 2000s and 2010s, so it both not far fetched to imagine the trend continuing, and an understandable failure of imagining how the trend is going to stop (because we don't know yet.) Perhaps there is a tipping point of unemployed people in the areas affected by AI where people outlaw some usage, funnel the funding, etc... Perhaps the disappearing of "free" energy puts people back in the fields to ensure subsistence, and the few remaining intellectual tasks are automated to hell. Perhaps this AI is astonishing us today before becoming boring and failing at the next hard task, buying us some time. I think it's still very much in our power not to blindly follow decisions written automatically on a computer screen. Don't give it a gun anytime soon, though.
