Ask HN: Are you excited about developments in AI?

I am seeing many people are so excited about AI, especially OpenAI employees who have stakes in it. I am thinking such AI's economic impact will be devastating. It's okay to be excited if you have a stake in it or you already have a bunch of money so that you won't be affected by this crash. I want to ask this question to workers: why are you excited about developments in AI? Don't you think you will lose your job and compensation? I am really trying to learn optimism behind it.
