I need to jump on the wagon here and beg you and others to stop comparing AI to Agriculture, mastering of Fire, the Wheel, Electricity or the Combustion Engine.

It's hard to even argue, cause these things stand on very disparate levels of civilizatory pressure. AI has, no question, potential to deeply change human experience, but even if it does, that will be mostly due to extreme optimization of existing processes, not likely the development of new modes of living.

And it's very, very, very far from getting there. All this hype over Generational AI is, sadly, more of a Marketing stunt than anything else. Generational AI don't bring any great innovation in what AI can achieve, only in how people perceive what AI already does. GPT's biggest achievement is to sound coherent, not to leap forward human knowledge in any meaning full way.
