You said yourself. They are "social forces". In other words, problems that people created. Not technology problems.
I think there is an incorrect worldview that tries to blame human problems on technology.
It's quite true that isolation is an increasing problem. But the idea that instead of using an AI that can spit out a comprehensive answer in seconds, we should all pretend that such tools don't exist, and start constantly asking for help with every idea or request instead, while waiting 3-100 times longer for a less thorough response, is ludicrous.
It's a great idea to collaborate more and try to avoid isolation. But those are societal problems. They are not caused by the latest tools.
Also, as far as humanity's "super-power" as being collaboration, this is quite a shortsighted comment. I believe that well before AI achieves "super" level IQ, it will vastly outperform humans due to other advantages. One of those advantages is speed. Another is the ability to communicate and collaborate much, much more rapidly and effectively than humans.
One type of digital life that may take over control of the planet (possibly within decades rather than centuries) would be a type of swarm intelligence with the ability to actually "rsync" mental models to directly transfer knowledge.
