Yes but the common man has won before! There has never been a perfect revolution/paradigm shift (personally anti utopia-through-intense-bloodshed, so hesitant to use the former term alone), but there have been many, all of which were against the wishes of those in power. Plus, if these AIs are enough to change everything, that kinda implies that we've developed flexible, reliable AGI systems. In such a world, everything changes - maybe the calculus of The Powerful Few vs. The Oppressed Masses changes in too! It might even change in our favor, if we're terribly lucky...
