This difference is the pace of change, when we banged two rocks together it took another 2 million years to make a spear

The pace of change is the fastest it has ever been, this can be incredibly stressful, and it will go faster, AI will tend to push it even faster, people will start competing with the AI’s pace of development, I think humans will lose that race eventually, jobs for all or even most will disappear

tell that to the generation when the car arrived, or the generation when electricy arrived, or the generation when industrialization took off or when globalisation kicked in or my generation where computers started. Every generation thinks their situation is harder or special, the reality is if anything this change is actually far slower than some of the major upheavals in just the last century or so alone, AI has been a slow advancing beast for the last 20 or 30 years. I did my honours in AI way back in the early 90's and while it has come a long way since then it has been a very slow crawl compared to other advancements and still has a long way to go.

"Pace"

All that change you mentioned only happened over the last 100 years, before 1800's pace of tech was much slower, and the further back you go even slower still, now moving forward, it’s getting faster, the pace of change in a last 100 years we are seeing that in 10 years, we can’t stop it but it will put more pressure on people than ever before, you won’t have long to wait to see it :p
