Not really a good comparison. AI is more like the internet boom. Anyone that lived through it remembers people that absolutely refused to learn how to use even basic things like email. Eventually it became more or less required for almost everything and you had people that had to be helped with things as simple as email.
AI is already incredibly useful if you actually know what it is. Most people think it's just for making pictures or asking questions though. It also doesn't help that people falsely claim data centers use tons of energy and destroy gallons of water for a single query.
