I've been asked if I can name another aspect of contemporary tech that has been as badly handled as the deployment of AI ... (not including cryptocurrencies). That's a toughie. AI is probably the winner, even if we included cryptocurrencies. AI will probably end up wasting even more electricity than cryptocurrencies, and is being stuffed down everyone's throats in a way that cryptocurrencies haven't been. And while cryptocurrencies impact financial markets in various creepy ways, AI is pretty much polluting EVERYTHING now. Yeah, there's no beating AI for evil in these respects.
