I don't remember where I read this, there was someone making the argument that the whole marketing around AI is (like many tech innovations) based around its inevitability, but "we" should still have a word to say about whether we want it or not. Especially when the whole shtick is how profoundly it will modify society.
If you have a bit of time, I recommend the short story "The Seasons of the Ansarac" by Ursula K. Le Guin, which is about a society and its choice about how to deal with technological disruption.
