I’ve never heard a more cynical AI take. There’s always a market for intelligence, whatever that means. The word intelligence is misleading anyway. No one said

  >No one said the AI needed to compete with the smartest person on the planet. It just needs to be smart enough to do some tasks that are “bullshit jobs” And then the smartest person on the planet figures out a better thing for the people who lost their "bullshit jobs" to do, right? No, gets sent to space to see how much even the smartest person on the planet really matters. > There’s always a market for intelligence, whatever that means. The word intelligence is misleading anyway. Agreed. What is decided here is to what extent there will continue to be a market for human intelligence. There are of course opportunity costs that humans who entered a market that they apparently believed to exist, will now have to, apparently, absorb. Or will we once again have to voluntarily undergo unsupervised radical mental restructuring - on the degree of your grandma having to learn how to navigate the Internet, and of her grandma presumably never having to do anything of the sort - and all that just to retain our Red Queen out of checkmate? It's always too early until it's too late. >I’ve never heard a more cynical AI take. Sapienti sat.
