"While AI will no doubt have countless benefits for people, and already is beneficial in a lot of cases"

I think this is less about AGI/ full AI than it is about learning systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc...

That said, the impact of this stuff especially in the context of the web is both profound and evolving.
