Americans benefit just like everyone else. The only people with a reason to panic are billionaires.

Assuming the business model around AI stays consistent with the unsustainable way it runs now, sure. But thinking longer term, once a winner is entrenched and control and usage patterns emerge and become general, China will possibly leverage AI dominance in the software space. Our tech middle class will become theirs.
