Is this an accurate representation of your meaning? Because technology has been relentlessly solving or making progress on solving human problems for thousands of years. Agriculture alone is a series of technological improvements which have solved an unfathomably number of instances of the "I have no food" problem, one of the most recurring and fundamental problems of all life. Avoiding diseases, healing injuries, trying to get three states over in a hurry because you heard your grandfather is about to die, communicating without being intercepted, satisfying wanderlust, making communication easier - all of these are very human problems which have been fully or partially solved by technology.
Wow, that's a pretty strong opinion. You do see that you are on a website on the internet right now, having conversations and discussions with strangers who could be from anywhere in the world, about technology and stuff that never would have happened before the internet.

Personally I’d rather AI be used to help fix society and health issues. Help people thrive and survive, things like that.
Human problems can only be solved by humans, not technology.

I’m not sure that’s true, are you suggesting the internet hasn’t solved a single human problem?
Nope. It hasn't solved anything.

Agreed, but these things are actually harder than upscaling star trek unfortunately.
It's not an either-or. People will try it for all sorts of things and keep the ones that are useful.
