I don't see it. What I see is more wealth and power concentration and with the worst group of people possible.

Yeah I view it as AI being objectively good from a technological perspective - we get new medications, new technology is achievable faster overall.

But really bad from a social perspective - as people lose their jobs they also lose their tiny piece of power in the society that was the labor someone else needed. Now that power has concentrated to the frontier model owners, and everyone in the future will depend on them.

And on a personal level, sacrifices people have made to become good at their craft have been made worthless, as any rich PoS can now prompt their way to "good" art and call their end result as good as something made with skill that needed years of training. That I really hate.
