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")
