Afraid: fake news and spam apocalypse Excited: Having a super powerful assistant that makes me more productive for e.g. drafting emails, writing code, creating legal contracts, ...

I'm not really bothered by the predicted fake news and spam deluges: I've seen enough of that already to know that regular social media use is not for me, and I'm generally picky about the topics I consume, and who I get them from.

If AI tools help my favoured sources become more productive, that'll be a plus. Of course, this ignores the broader impact on society...

What I'm afraid for? My job!

Super powerful assistant that works automatically on things when I am doing something else. That is, long-term workflows that use old A.I. techniques to define the workflow and new A.I. techniques to execute some of the nodes.
