For democracies like ones in the Western world people can vote so if the masses feel like their governments are handling the issue badly they'll vote them out. A significant shift from current capitalistic systems in the next 10-20 years seems pretty likely to me. My biggest concern in the transition period is the phase when there is mass unemployment for white collar work but blue collar work isn't being impacted that much yet. Governments will need to make sure to help support their people through that.

The thing is though, sometimes democracies vote in authoritarianism; its not hard for popularist demagogues to persuade enough of the population to hand them power, as we've seen many times throughout history.

If anything, the last decade in particular has shown us that governments, big tech, and the elites don't give a shit about the wellbeing of the masses and will use every means they can including AI to monopolize power and wealth as the common people's expense.

A big part of populism in the coming years will be a push to regulate AI and make sure the systems aren't mainly in the hands of billionaires and AI companies. In general though we can probably just leave this here for now since I feel we've kinda said everything we have to say on the subject for now. I'm optimistic about it long term but we can agree on the part that there's likely gonna be a rough stretch. More than anything my original point here was showing that there's more than just a few positive applications of AI since the technology is already powerful enough to be very broad in its applications.
