Here's the reality. This isn't going to be all that impactful. Consider self-driving cars. Even if they are ultimately safer than humans doing the driving, people aren't going to trust them--not with their lives. Similarly, we aren't going to entrust any meaningful or important tasks to "bots" or automated software.
At this point, we all have numerous and vivid memories of computer programs getting something spectacularly wrong, ceasing to work at all, or failing to complete an important aspect of the task assigned. So our reluctance is well-founded--but it will persist LONG after computers are indeed reliable enough to be assigned important tasks. People adapt, but slowly.
The next generation, however, will seamlessly integrate AI into their lives, without a second thought. So all these "smart bot" companies are indeed the wave of the future--but in the meantime, there will be some spectacular failures, maybe even deaths, which will be overdramatized by Fox News et al and will scare the crap out of some people.
