You need to read more sci-fi. The Culture series by Ian Banks is a good start.
Of course there is dystopic fiction too, but the point is there are many possibilities of what life post-ai may look like
Nothing says it has to work out the way you think so stating that so confidently is unwarranted.
- ALittleLight 6y agoBut in The Culture series humans have no meaningful role and everything that humans can do machines can do better. Some extreme edge cases may apply to very specific things, but even then, it's one or two individual humans being useful contributors out of countless trillions. I agree that The Culture is the science fiction future to aspire to - but the place for humans in The Culture is just enjoying how good society is once machines and AI do everything for you. Importantly, the AI's of The Culture like humans and want to promote human flourishing. If human+ level AGI is achieved then I think it does have to work out the way the parent is stating. There will be no useful role for the vast majority of humans. Humans are intelligence plus the physical capabilities of our bodies. Machines can already exceed our physical capabilities in most things, and if artificial intelligence exceeds ours - what will be left for humans?
- stevenhuang 6y agoIf that was the point parent was making then I agree as well, there would indeed be no useful role for humanity. > Importantly, the AI's of The Culture like humans and want to promote human flourishing Yes, perhaps this was what I wanted to highlight, that even if we are to end up in such a situation, it could be beneficial.
