I think it would just be hard to justify pursuing knowledge and art when the AI will also do that better than you, in it's spare cycles.
I agree that there is a timeless quality to learning sports or arts that are obsolete, but at some point... it might be kind of depressing.
- zardo 10y agoNo more depressing than learning how to do just about anything, knowing that you are never going to be world class at it.
- davesque 10y agoThat sort of assumes that the point of doing either of those things is to be better than everyone else. I personally find the activities alone to be worthwhile. Besides, the reality of superior ability wouldn't be anything new. For everyone of my abilities, it seems incredibly likely that there exists another human somewhere that might be considered "better" than me.
- civilian 10y agoSo, with art, I can acknowledge that the point isn't to be better. But what about collecting knowledge? Sure, you could help analyzing the genome & biology of a rare butterfly with all your free time. Say, maybe it would takes computer-assisted humans several years. But the AI could finish it in a month! Wouldn't you feel silly about that?
