Radical new technologies tend to cause a lot of short term pain, while bringing long term benefits.

That short term pain is due to all the dislocations in the economy from obsolescence. Lots of people will lose their jobs as AI takes over many tasks, but this inherently frees their time to find other ways to bring value to society.

Long term, people do manage to find new jobs with new skills. AI will have both increased worker productivity and reduced cost of living.

Does that make me utopian? No, there will still be social and personal problems. It's hard to predict what they'll be, though, since daily life will be radically different.
