One thing "AI" has in common with cryptocoin that pretty much every posited scenario is disastrous to some degree, just a question of flavour and distribution of said disaster.

If doomers are right: disaster

If naysayers—"it's dysfunctional"—are right: disaster ("Congrats! all software is broken")

If "moderate" boosters are right: disaster (mass unemployment)

If optimists are right: disaster (also mass unemployment)

If the AGI folks are right: disaster ( "Congrats! Digital chattel slavery")
