And as "we" attempt large scale automation, attempting to "automate our world", the devilish details and fractal complexity of a dynamic human society will be realized. Automation is an attempt to "freeze a process" and then accelerate it's handling, efficiencies, and outputs through machines - but is that even possible at city scale, not to contemplate larger scales yet, with a dynamic competitive human society inside? Will human society be future identified by the "version of automation" that ran at that time? Will future human society be constrained by the the designers of the automation in place, requiring violent overthrows to establish a newer automation?
These speculations and similar strike me as infantile questions. I think as we approach our capabilities granted by AI, we will "see" the complexity of human civilization, in truth, for the first time. AI is a new set of eyes, data analysis is our vision, and as a civilization we've only been the three blind men examining an elephant. It's time to see what we are, and maybe, just maybe, mature enough to manage our own civilization without all our infantile infighting.
