There was a fear just before the invention of the computer that man had reached their peak and the future would be ridden with being stagnant. It seemed like Color TV was the ultimate invention. The space age gave us hope though.
Artificial Intelligence has changed everything. Those of us closer to the end of our lives than the beginning really wonder what we will be missing in the future. I personally don't think we would recognize mankind twenty years after I'm gone.
I am fortunate, having been born in 1950, to embrace the digital era. I love and fear the changes that AI bring with it. I drive a Tesla Model Y Long Range and now get a glimpse of the future. Artificial Intelligence, when applied in a positive manner, can enrich our lives, make us safer and open our minds to dreams beyond our imagination. Unfortunately, there is a chance that AI could bring devestation as well. Evil people could create monsters capable of causing death and destruction beyond our imagination.
I personally look to use AI in the same manner as using Google. It is a great research tool but not the end all be all of my creativity. It is a outline in which I'll personalize the information. I would never take my personal touch out of any relationship with another human being.

FYI - I used Spellcheck, is that a form of Artificial Intelligence?
