I would say the doubters were right, and the results are terrible.

I hope the same does not happen with AI. But I expect it will. Maybe in your daily life AI will create legal contracts there are thousands of pages long And you will need AI of your own to summarise them and process them.
Excellent point. Just because the invention of the automobile arguably introduced something valuable, how we ended up using them had a ton of negative side effects. I don't know enough about cars or horses to argue pros and cons. But I can certainly see how we _could_ have used them in a way that's just objectively better than what we could do without them. But you're right, I can't argue we did.
