>It will power scams on an unimaginable scale.

The solution is to put an AI intermediary into interactions. We already should have AI that rewrite the web pages we view into an ad-free format but I guess my ideas on this topic is ahead of the inevitable curve.

>It will destabilize labor at a speed that will make the Industrial Revolution seem like a gentle breeze.

Most of our work and employment lines are a variation of drugery a d slave labor so that's a good thing way overdue.

>It will concentrate immense power and wealth in the hands of people who I don’t trust.

It have democratized the access to consultation expertise and an increasingly widening pool of digital skills/employees for everyone to use and access. A huge amount of things previously locked or restricted by capital access are now freely accessible to literally anyone (with some skill and accuracy issues still to be ironed out).

And this last point is particularly important because we're only going to have more and better AI crop up, and unlike a humans their time isn't priced according to living expenses and hourly wage locked behind formalized business structures with additional layers of human employees that all need to pay rent and eat that drives the cost skywards.

It also matches my own prediction of a mundane non-singularity. Long before we get anything properly superhuman we'll have a proliferation of innumerable sub- or parahuman AI that proliferates and become ambiguous in society and the world.
