13. When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

AI is alrready a very useful tool in science and medicine. It might take over some of the most boring jobs out there. What it won't do is replace human beings in most jobs, AI lacks the intellectual capacity of even the dumbest people out there, even though those people aren't using it much. The tech dude fantasy of having machines supply their needs, repaired by other machines ad infinitum while they dispose of the working class they think only exist right now to mess up the scenery is not going to be realized.

It will be loads of fun to watch them found Galt's Gulch to try it out.
