This is exactly what has happened the past 50+ years, too, your toolbox was just different in the 90's than it is today.

So if it has happened, should we now proceed with even more powerful and dangerous tools, with a much tighter integration with society?

Is a nuclear power plant dangerous? Or an airplane? Both are examples of an advanced form of what other entities in their category do.

Of course we should proceed with even more powerful tools. We also need even stronger governance of said tools. We don't want an AI-version of the Chernobyl incident but we do want the AI-version of the benefits that nuclear power gives.
