3/4 So, if I narrow this down back to software, or specifically #FOSS / #OpenSource, we can:
1) Go back to roots: we once again reevaluate what is important to whom: "AI / no AI" is similar as "Open Source / FLOSS"
2) Regroup
E.g. I guess, among other things, we will see new Linux distros popping up or splitting away based on AI "tastes / opinions / arguments".
In biology, diversity is good (typically as hedge against risks). Same for opinions.

4/4 But at the end, one needs to do some work, not just voicing opinions expecting work from others.
So what does that mean to me? Well, as said above: given differences in opinion, I'm now loosing portion of the effort of others I've relied upon so far. So now I will have more work maintaining my computers the way I like/need. E.g. same as in '90, etc. Nothing new.
Do some changes to achieve progress, observe results, adjust to improve benefits and diminish negatives. Rinse and repeat.

5/4 p.s.: If one stance, even if held by minority, leads to extinction, then either:
1) We are able to somehow deal with it and prevent the catastrophe => good for us
2) We fail to deal with it => we die off => good for the Universe (we leave the scene, and somebody/something else can try achieve better results)
So, I guess I'm optimist? :) :/ :\ :( :)
