Ok, when the world where no one has to pay for anything comes to pass, we can make all the AI we want.
The science is in. The science is definitive. Climate change is real and is caused by humans. To deny that is to deny science. Here’s one article on the topic there’s hundreds more.
I don't think that's fair. I see a lot of objections based on the incredibly huge energy consumption spike being caused by the use of datacenters devoted to AI which is well outside the predicted range for energy consumption. I don't think that objection is based on greed.What most of the arguments against AI are about is greed pure and simple. People don't want AI taking away their livelihood and their money and they are willing to hurt all of society so they can get as much money for themselves as possible.
I don't think we will get to the point where things are free, but technology consistently makes things cost less, much less. AI art for example is very cheap, nearly free in fact and some of it is actually free. But those who dislike AI would rather people pay more and make it be further away from free.

Then there is a new report of on AI posing an extinction-level threat to humanity. Now I don't think it's that, but it does raise some legit questions about the impact AI will have on civilization.
That report says in part, "Current frontier AI development poses urgent and growing risks to national security...The rise of advanced AI and AGI [artificial general intelligence] has the potential to destabilize global security in ways reminiscent of the introduction of nuclear weapons.”
"The report focuses on two separate categories of risk. Describing the first category, which it calls “weaponization risk,” the report states: “such systems could potentially be used to design and even execute catastrophic biological, chemical, or cyber attacks, or enable unprecedented weaponized applications in swarm robotics.” The second category is what the report calls the “loss of control” risk, or the possibility that advanced AI systems may outmaneuver their creators. There is, the report says, “reason to believe that they may be uncontrollable if they are developed using current techniques, and could behave adversarially to human beings by default.”
Those are legit concerns that are not founded in personal greed either. Those concerns are not "willing to hurt all of society so they can get as much money for themselves" and indeed they imply the opposite.
Now I am torn on the impact of AI and can see both ends of that argument. But I certainly do not think it will be all roses like you seem to think it will be. A lot of the Techbros think it will be a Star Trek future and I think that's pretty normal Utopian thinking. Life never goes that direction. It's going to be a mixed bag in all likelihood.
no, it is the opposite, it is an argument to not accumulate even more wealth in the hands of a few people.What most of the arguments against AI are about is greed pure and simple.

So we should gave never have invented computers? Think of all the people that were put out if a job by the use of Microsoft Excel or the ATM? Except those jobs weren't really lost, the jobs just shifted into different categories.no, it is the opposite, it is an argument to not accumulate even more wealth in the hands of a few people.
If cars can drive themselves, Mr Uber gets all the money and the drivers are out of a job, and so forth.
I do not see preventing this as hurting society, at all
that is a matter of how fast they get adopted, how widespread their application is, and to a degree what new opportunities they open updisruptive technologies are always coming onto the scene and we always adjust.
and being ready also means putting rules in place, putting taxes on AI, strengthening the social security network, having fines and prison sentences that cannot just be shrugged off as the cost of doing business (as they frequently can today), …We can no more stop advancements in technology than we can stop the sun from rising. All we can do is think of ways to be ready for it and to stay informed about how we will need to adapt to the new world.
