> AI, over the long term, will render humans mostly useless Doesn't AI depend on humans feeding it data. how can it be self sustainable.

  It will feed itself data, more or less in the same way as we do it.

    i have hard time accepting that our brains are just generating new stuff based on probabilities. AI feeding on its own BS sounds awful.
    • Ma8ee 3y ago
      I meant by interacting with the world.
      • apwell23 3y ago
        The world with humans in it?
        • Ma8ee 3y ago
          Yes. Humans and birds and rocks and stars.

  No? AI already generates data via interacting with the world. Right now that experience happens mainly by proxy through humans, but, even now, that isn't strictly necessary.

    > that isn't strictly necessary i guess i don't follow what this means.

      it means that AI isn't limited to ChatGPT on the web interface. AI can also be a robot with sensors (like a camera) and an internal model that processes sensory information and turns it into knowledge. Humans would only be needed to bootstrap such a robot, at which point it would be autonomous. Give it the ability to replicate and you've just made humans obsolete.
