Why can't people see the implications of ai tech for the future?

Today, I posted comment on grapevine about how AI is different from industrial revolution, pc, mobile, internet revolution which created very high paying jobs. However grapeviners started ridiculing me.

it’s weird it feels like most people both in and outside of ai aren’t able or unwilling to extrapolate the current level of technology even one iteration into the future and plan for it.

I have been having these severe arguments with my peers who think that will never replace us. Like HOW CAN YOU BE SO SHORT SIGHTED.

Just 3 months ago i was showing ai art and talking about how it is gonna replace artists, and one my peers just said "ai can't draw hands so it will never replace artists" like BRUH DONT YOU FUCKING SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. Can't you see the rate at which it's progressing? How can you claim that it won't replace us in the future, they act like the ai is static and that it doesn't learn. It's so frustrating. Now when ai can't draw hands, they will just pick something else like "yea but it can't do this" like BRUH YOU SAID THE SAME SHIT A MONTH AGO. WHY CANT TOU SEE THAT ITS FUCKING EVOLVING. ARE YOU ALL BLIND??? They say ai is stupid and that our future will remain like our present. I mentioned an example of how a small group of artists were replaced by a company, and they just said "but that's just a small group of people" LIKE BROOOOOOOOOO YOU WERE SAYING THEY WOULDNT BE REPLACED AT ALL A FEW MONTHS AGO, CANT YOU SEE WHERE WE ARE HEADING? When i talk about this, they just accuse me, calling me an overthinker, and that is should spend my time doing something else.

"If you like ai so much, then why don't you just marry it?"

Where does this stupid thought process come from, why can't they see into the future, yes the tech sucks now but can't you see the rate at which it has been improving???
