If you look past the fear mongering and how capitalists are using it, AI tech is already cool. Crispr and the fact that we are roughly at genetic modification now where we were with Computers in the 80's with a human trial for a gene modification therapy for a genetic disease already happening this year, VR and AR has some really nifty gaming uses already, and we're starting another manned mission to the moon. All of that is immediately cool, but boring you dont think of cool is how powerful our cellphones are, most of us now have a tiny black obelisk connected to NOTHING that allows us to talk to someone across the planet who doesnt speak the same language us with a delay of less than a few seconds, and still have them understand us. Our world has already changed SO MUCH in the last 30 years technology wise, and there isnt really anything hinting that that rate of advancement is going to slow to a significant degree, so while the political and environmental instability the world is currently facing is indeed scary, if we are in the position to survive the next 30 years, we're likely to see even more tech that would seem like magic even in todays eyes
edit: On top of all that, because of the internet, the rich have only been able to delay any of this cool tech getting into our hands, not fully stop it, so as much as they've been trying to lock down the internet, as long as they havent, we'll still eventually get access to these awesome new advancements
