Even if the potential of the technology could really be that world altering, the reality of economics constrain the realization of that potential. AI may provide economic benefits but it is far from a free lunch. Can capital markets sustain the cash required to keep the lights on long enough and into an industry where there's a lot of monopolies controlling the costs and a lot of competitor labs taking away pricing power? I don't know but I think you run out of runway and progress starts to grind.
