Personally I wouldn't let AI influence this decision at all.

Today's AI is built on human-made content, and if we want "more" AI then we will need more human-made stuff. So it's a moot point. Unless you are OK with AI causing a plateau in human progress, don't let it get in the way of you (a human) from making progress.

That said, I cannot really comment on your first or third blockers. I have the exact same problems.
