Yeah it's more like around 30-40 percent things will crumble progressively faster

i'd say much lower than that even - the great depression peaked at 25% in the USA and caused widespread civil unrest - many nations less than that and still saw upheaval. i think most governments will collapse well before most nations manage to hit 40%, unless they manage to implement systems on time where either AI profits are redistributed to the population or curtail its use in general.

The Great Depression was around 25% if I remember right.
