I think it will be similar to Frank Herbert's "Dune", where they reference periods of great instability due to AI. I also think we are in a point as a global economy where we have been dealing with cycles of inflation and exploitation for decades, that many people in charge either don't fully see the structural problem or feel powerless to fix it if they do see it.

Some of the problems in the world are still human-layer and I think a retreat into AI will make things worse by avoiding the problem before it makes anything systemically better.
