Honestly, that one belongs in the settled-questions bin next to theism. Making intellectual progress requires having spaces where the basics can be taken for granted, for a definition of “the basics” that’s for people trying to contribute at the intellectual frontier, rather than for the human population at large.
Strong downvoted for tone on this: the reason it belongs in the settled bin is because it’s really easy to answer the question. Simply, AI has already had an enormous impact, and more of the same would be pretty damn world-changing.
