I'm not afraid of artificial intelligence destroying mankind. I'm afraid that future tech elites will use artificial intelligence to turn an already hollowed-out middle class into a permanent undercaste, who's every thought and action is observed, calculated, and put into a spreadsheet so that their betters can best assess their professional utility - whether that's as a potential employee or dog food.
