You misunderstood that I am somehow opposed to the development of AI. As a matter of fact, "back before 'personal computers'" I tried to sign up for a typing class in my engineering school, saying, "One day we're all going to have computers--and we're going to need them to defend ourselves!"

My engineering adviser laughed, crossed out the typing class, and signed. I tore it up, filled out another, found a different, busier, adviser and took typing. (Not THAT far-sighted, I dropped the class when we got to "numbers" because I was very busy at the end of the semester, and "C'mon, it's only number...")
My objection is to this, to us out here in the trenches, not fully considered RUSH to "put AI in EVERYTHING," without stopping to think about "unintended consequences." In fact, I do very much worry about CCP and Russian hackers who may some day gain access to "our" AI because it will already be handily in place.
Granted, though we are at a nexus and there are few if any people who can even define or foresee any of the difficulties or unintended consequences. It was the same situation with the development of the internet. I can tell you from the point of medical care, it is a done deal. Malpractice being the primary driver of needing AI. Rural healthcare suffers from a lack of resources and providers. Another aspect is that as costs of healthcare increase, AI can help reduce it by offering more treatment options so patients can make better decisions with more individualized choices. Insurance companies won’t be controlling treatment options as much as they do now. Of course doctors will be able to react quicker and have more information to share with patients.
