I think a lot of people are optimistic that a horse -> car transition will take place in regards to AI. I'm not so sure, since I think AI is not just a tool, but a direct competition to the human condition.

AI can wield AI in a way that a car cannot wield another car (nor a horse wielding another horse).

I'm hoping it creates more markets than it closes, but how long will those markets last when they're just replaced by newer ones (e.g. an AI that writes music, followed by an AI that redefines music genres, followed by an AI that unites music, art, culture, and mathematics, etc.)

How can anyone specialize, plan, cooperate in something that will just change again not soon after. I see an end to the stock exchange (maybe a good thing) and any security that a government can promise its people.

I think we're all going to be put through a fine mesh, and come out the other side the same color (maybe a good thing). Hopefully UBI is seen as a necessity here and we find more meaningful ways to define the value of human life outside of economics
