Yes and I agree with your sentiments that most people don't deal well with change.
The real change that AI will bring will be to another age old triangle - the relationship between state, capital and labour. Unfortunately, if the free people of the world keep electing the likes of Donald Trump, Joe Biden, etc then we've got absolutely no chance of reimagining that relationship for the betterment of mankind.
I think the elections are rigged - in the sense that there are no good options that will lead to betterment for society or humanity. If we want a better world, we need to work for it, not vote for it.
