I partially agree with the idea that AI is the same as industrial revolution. Yes, AI is just as revolutionary as steam engine.
Except we are currently at the stage steam engine was in ancient Greece and Roman Empire - a curiosity too expensive to use for value it provides and too crude to provide anything better.
Luckily ancient times didn’t have billionaires playing speculative gambling on economy by trying to push any new thing as something revolutionizing right now.
Let the AI flop now, wait a few centuries and it will return better.
AI will cause next productivity revolution when demand for things that AI can make will heavily outweigh supply created by human workforce. This is not the case now. We automated work of artists, people we generally joke about being unneeded beggars.
Industrial revolution happened because demand for goods was so big, people would rather buy mediocre factory-made things than artisan-made high quality goods. Common folk currently do not have enough money to spend on frivolous things AI makes.

Better in terms of using less resources would be great.
