I am one of the current generative "AI" naysayers. It's not society holding it back, it's the fact we don't know how to make true AI.

Now a classless system where everyone can be equal, that will never happen because of society.

Fair and true justice for all not just the rich will never exist because of society.

I don't see any tech not existing just because of "society". Even flying cars, it's the fact they're so inefficient and hard to make is why we don't have them, otherwise we could automate them.
