I see a tradeoff ... capitalists, wealthy elites and corporations only look at the bottom line and profit rather than in advancement of anything ... the only advancement they favour is profit at all costs.

What I see is the public's fear of AI will mean that people will become more willing to work for less. What this will mean is that as people begin to work for less, cheap human semi-slave labour will become more cost efficient than expensive modern AI, AI tools or even AI machines. Think about it ... would you rather invest in a few hundred thousand for a dozen people working for dirt low pay ... or a few hundred thousand for one machine that will require regular maintenance, us untested, may or may not be reliable and is still in active development.

I think at this point in development the biggest role that AI is playing is that it is putting fear in everyone and the more fear you put into everyone, the easier it is to control and manipulate them.
