Studied AI in the late 80s and then did it for a living until 95. But the HW was inadequate, so I moved to database work and mgmt to make a living. It's strange to see it finally see it take off, and sad to see where it's going. I worry for the young.

You're not painting a very pretty picture. And I thank you. The middle-class are going to get wiped out and they're not going to see it coming. I think it's going to get ugly.

I will at least say I tried to warn people…

I've been trying for years, but people just don't want to hear it. Thanks, again.

There are many dimensions of ugly (sounds like you are aware of that and I am not sure it is productive to enumerate them here).

"War Games" came out the year I graduated from high school. I mention that because we thought we had a scary future there that needed a change of course.

Probably too much to ask AI to figure out that every "game"/scenario that it "plays" is a fat L.
