Breh, this is like saying planes can't change shyt cause the Wilbur brothers only flew a few hundred feet.
It doesn't matter how long AI has been around. What matters is when it starts vastly outperforming humans at important tasks. We're just at the point where AI can outperform humans at gradually more complex tasks, but that's not a game-changer because it's not too different from competing with other humans.
What matters is when AI becomes 10,000x, 10,000,000x, even billions of times better than humans even at complex tasks. You can't yet envision what that world looks like. A single person controlling an ultra-powerful AI could be more powerful than an entire elite company with thousands of employees but just one generation slower technology.
