And there was no such thing as a black swan. Until there was. It's the "problem of induction"[1][2]. The past up through the present moment gives us hints about the future, but it can't (by induction) definitely tell us what the future will hold. Note that I'm not arguing that we should all freak out over AI today and start rioting in the streets. But it is fair, IMO, to ask the kinds of questions being asked here. What does happen once we have machines that are on par with human capabilities in pretty much every "value creation" sense? What does a world look like where there is no actual need for humans to do the kind of "work" that most of us do today? What kind of social/economic/political systems will we have? Will the world be more "Star Trek: TNG" or more "The Matrix"?
