We don't need to live "side by side" with AI. AI is not alive, it's a technology we use. This is like talking about living side by side with your toaster.
Excited to read this. I really liked the note "Antiqua et Nova" from last year (still under Pope Francis). The autors showed a deep understanding of AI that many secular commentators lack. They developed the concept of integrated intelligence as opposed to the functional, reductivist view of intelligence that is prevalent in the AI community.

There is nothing new under the sun. Today we have "Things people blame on cars".
I've read many Americans that argue that cars are somehow destructive to community live. Here in Europe, people in rural areas or small towns are entirely dependend on cars, even more, they love their cars (and rightfully so). Yet, they have healthy communities, live in large houses. Nature is near, history at hand (look, you have a nice, old forest, a lake, and a medieval castle over there!), and the air is clean. On the other hand, in large cities, you might not need a car most of the time and many people don't have one. Still, this does not create vibrant communities where people just spontaneously interact with each other. You just have more things to choose from on Uber eats.
I still like large cities for the sheer amount of interesting people you meet; but the ideal is a small, car-heavy community in the vicinity of a large metropolis. Note: Those communities grew organically, they have a long history, and you can feel it. This makes them different from the two prominent technocratic urban planning fantasies: McMansion suburbs as well as the new car-free "communities".
