Benefit depends on preference. There is no universal utility. If your value is that nature should be preserved over economic development, then you'll likely see AI as a detriment, whereas if your only value is innovation, then you'll likely see it as a positive. People who believe in putting nature first will not see civilization as a benefit, similarly.

Besides, most of the world does not think AI is a benefit. In my library for instance, tehre was a general survey with hundreds of responses and over 50% of people said AI was a bad thing for the world.

Most creatives and artists think similarly.
