The first question is who is responsible for AI, and how are they planning to use it? All signs point to their own agenda being beneficial. So why would this be allowed to happen by ordinary people who live a simple life? Shouldn't they. It's not in the interest of them. In spite of all the marketing propoganda that makes them believe it is. Taking humans into account and the fact that not all humans are created equal. Some are very empathic, some are somewhere in between, and others are psychopaths (dangerous). We can assume that there is, and always will be, a battle between good and bad. Unfortunately, in deception and manipulating those in between, the psychopaths are outstanding. And anything will be done to manipulate and coerce others into submission. They usually get to the top and that is indicated by occupations such as CEO, police officer, and surgeon. So what makes us so naively think that our best interests will be in the minds of those at the top? Usually they won't. Something to think about.
Well. It will end up being a watered down version of whatever future we can predict. That is the way it has been for a couple of centuries.
I can only imagine our leaders knowing a great deal more than we do. Why else would we fire head on to create instruments that would literally replace the US? I assume nukes are also illogical, but their advantage is largely based on fear.
AI is much more dependent on greed than nukes are. That makes one think that greed is going to lead us on a better path than fear. The great paradigm of our time is this evolution. If there were a population that would grow forever, I would say yes. We'd better rethink the road ahead with the Earth topping out at 9 billion around 2055.
They believe that, in growing the economy, AI will replace population growth. If this isn't a preverbial hole for a rabbit, I don't know what it is.
