There must be a disconnect here because I never mentioned jobs or anything like that pertaining to AI. I don't have fear so much as apprehension, and that apprehension is about things far more existential.
Not worried about losing my job to AI. I have skills AI won't replace in my lifetime.

Ah.. fair enough.
However, to answer your question:
should we even be engaging it?
Yes, but not in the context of trusting it as an all-knowing oracle. Engage it to understand the potential of this technology, what's limits are, what the security holes are, what applications can it help you with, what can it not help you with, etc.
But do not ignore it, or you will be left behind.
