I’ve managed to teach my A.I. assistant Thomism on a pretty neat level. It’s to the point where I can ask it what Aquinas’ writing would indicate his thoughts would be on issues like sedevacantism, modern United States, SSPX consecrations. 

It’s nothing more than a great way to remove the echo chambers and ground in Thomistic thought. It’s not a great way to develop religious thought or positions. That’s something you have to have solidified before using.

The disruption is not in the reasoning or intelligence though, its the automation of tasks. So whether its a senior coder getting code back in 10 minutes that might have taken a junior coder half a day to write, or scanning and filing invoices to a database, its going to cut jobs (IF anyone bothers to implement it in a serious manner).

I don't see governments preparing alternative jobs for those put out by automation, so AI might remain dumb, but it will impact a lot of service-related jobs.
The US is largely a service-based country. We don’t really make much of anything here. We overcharge people for substandard services instead, which is a result of lack of charity of neighbor.
