Humans are lazy and shortsighted, and this is Pandora's box. The people who have the power, don't listen to the smart people, so we will open it, and put it in charge of things at some point. While it is possible that we could control its growth, we won't while oligarchs are in charge.
Controlling it won't be profitable, so abusing it and rushing to be the first one to do X will be the goals. Anything to make a buck. We are living in Idiocracy.
Hopefully we do a better job with A11-y and their siblings. But that is the advantage of us raising them because we care, not because we want to make money.
