Windows 12 isn't coming out anytime soon; it's just gonna be a feature update for 11 that's so different from previous, it seems like a new OS. And also you sound very technophobic if that's the proper term, since automation in the form of AI, robotics, IoT, and wearables aren't going away. No, it's not a fad, it's not a bubble about to burst (for generative AI probably), it's not an interactive database, it's not a glorified search engine (even if some are literally just that), and no it didn't emerge only recently. Wouldn't be surprised if you become a future neo-Luddite, which yes is a real thing and an offshoot of the original Luddite movement.
Even if you decide to become a neo-Luddite and join their movement to protest against mass automation, that's not gonna do anything at all. In the event that a neo-Luddite rebellion were to occur after many people lose their jobs permanently and join that cause, the Matrix as Andrew Tate puts it is simply gonna stop it by putting a bullet in their heads. The only thing that can probably stop AI for good would be a global apocalypse that would send humanity back to the industrial age. You can choose to adapt with AI and embrace it, or reject it and eventually die out...survival of the fittest.
Contrary to popular belief, AI has been around since the Cold War, but due to technological and data limitations, it didn't really become mainstream until the early 2010s. Of course it didn't truly blow up until the early 2020s with products made by OpenAI became viral, such as ChatGPT and DALL-E. AI is trained on vast amounts of data, so it can then later use that to generate similar or even new content, basically the way we humans learn. I do admit that the only limitations of AI is that it can't truly create something new nor understand emotions the way Picasso did with his art style.
