Raises in brief a lot of on point topics. However, I think the root of the disruption relies on the concept of copying skill. Which is a brand new concept and every effect will be derived from that. Requires new ways of thinking about the impacts. Any new skill/knowledge can be absorbed by the AI and scaled infinitely. Where will be the incentive for the human investment? We have copyright and other means to protect intellectual property. However, there is no protection for a skill. There has never been a way before to mimic a skill without a high burden of cost which itself was the protection. A partial limiting factor at present is the amount of data required for training the AI models. However, that is likely to be overcome at some point with future advancements. from - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-end-to-all-things https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-end-to-all-things

What's the incentive for AI to share energy resources with humans or even animals? I assume that AI will be driven by selfish ambition and its only interest will be reaching the new heights of its own intelligence.

  Yes, that is the big alignment question. Nobody really knows. Opinions differ greatly on this topic, but most have a significant level of concern. We can't say that AI would necessarily be driven by selfish motives. However, that actually isn't the main concern. It is the fact that we can not perceive the means by which it may execute any task. It is like all the old tales of a genie of the lamp that grants wishes. However, they don't turn out as you expect. For example, ask the AI to end human conflict. Possible results, kill all humans, then no conflict. Or, create a nano tech mind virus to control all of humanity and force uniform conformity. Finally, we have no idea how to actually successfully align an AI. Most say it is very difficult. I'm more inclined to say it is actually impossible based on their own premise which is a paradox. I've expanded on that in great detail here in case you are interested - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-singularity-the-hubris-trap https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-singularity-the-hubris-trap
