Human is fucked. We need real AI machines to take over.

 Can humans develop AIs that are better than humans? It is still very
primitive but some of the LLMs have embarrassed their creators.
 I've read several dystopian novels like Stanfill's 'The Prophecy of the
Heron' but I'm currently reading 'Star Scrapper' which takes a different
approach. The protagonist makes a living searching for stellar scrap and
finds a cube that turns out to be an AI that has been suspended for
several hundred years. AI is completely illegal and subject to the
Inquisition in the current society. When reactivated this cube turns out
to be friendly and helpful, even with a very human sense of humor putting
the protagonist in a quandary.
 Pessimistic by nature I see AI going very wrong in the long run. In the
short run I see the current tulip fad going bust leaving a lot of
investors hung out to dry.

I've said this before here that the AI that I meant is not the AI that's being developed right now. Cro-magnons cannot do the real thing because cro-magnons are afraid of people who are better than them. You won't see the real AI ever developed by cro-magnons.
You will see it developed eventually, when science and tech goes where they belong.
For cro-magnons, a real AI isn't "illegal" like in that story; it's their "enemy". They go to war with anything that's better than them.
