Trial and error with all the cool new inventions, but having to put money aside for our well-being when we go overboard with said technology is what's going to matter.

Anything that will stagnate positive growth for humanity is where we should draw the line. We never know what could harm or benefit us, it all depends on how we use the technology of course.
Everything is made to complement our existence, but it's up to us whether that crosses the line to degeneracy. For example, we could eventually give AI too much responsibility regarding any task requiring physical effort from us.
That plus easy access to food (deliveries, not having to cook) could easily lead us to more health issues, and 10x more obesity problems.

No yes! Agree, that's a definite outcome, that's also my point though. We just don't know how we will treat the tech, it can only become harmful if we make it so.
