I think one of the biggest impediments to both is still technology.
The metaverse requires clunky headsets and the avatars “don’t have legs.” Not to mention there doesn’t seem to be many compelling uses for consumers other than creepy guys harassing the (few) women who show up.
AI really does have a much stronger case in terms of augmenting the skills of human workers.
I use an AI powered transcription service for interviews. It’s a time saver over transcribing it myself or paying someone. Of course the results are far from perfect and so I have to manually compare the transcript with the audio file as the AI produces quite a few mistakes—some quite hilarious.
I am in my 60s and don't want to get left behind by technology so I have jumped on board AI, not to do a lot for me, rather to develop my critical thinking, the skill which will be most in demand going forward.

I also love Freddie Deboerr's article on the difference between AI and Consciousness thinking
