I've been saying it's more like the Watt steam engine. Which led to physical labor being cheap. Leading to railroads, cars, tanks, planes, drive bombers, battleships, tractors, the end of subsistence farming, people being forced to migrate to cities, child labor, 80-100 hour weeks, and so on. Maybe indirectly leading to things like the violent rise of communism, Cold War, and such.
AI will lead to attention being cheap. AGI will be a wrecking ball to the education system. And it will mess with the creative industry who are suddenly realizing they were not that creative in the first place.
I don't expect things to be as rosy as when Google and iPhone came in.
