We don't need AI to automate most things. AI will be for figuring out very big problem and won't be like proliferate in Everday products.

The limits now are not chips, it's definitely the programming. Quantum chips will only have specific uses and silicon will keep doing most of the stuff.

A super smart AI would be nice, but what we need far more is just lots of robotic labor/automation to lower the costs of everything and increase the standard of living once our economic systems catch up to the new reality.

You can probably automate the majority of jobs just with silicon/machine learning and good programming. Most jobs don't require the ridiculous amounts of computation you can get from quantum. Really the most useful thing a real AI could do right now is to replace the 98% junk code that's currently out there to actually get the most of the chips. That or solve all human behavior problems, but I'm not holding my breath any AI will ever be that smart.
