Yes but what happens to society when art, labor, "intelligence" and productivity all become abundant? These are not comparable to salt. You are comparing an apple to every orange tree that has ever existed.

We focus on colonisation of Universe and becoming a Kardashev Type III civilisation. Literally that.

  We're just missing around 9001 steps between the devaluation of labor and the space exploration, which according to current understanding of physics is pure fantasy because all concepts of faster then light travel are purely "what-if" daydreams

    Yes, many will suffer, many will die. The streets shall be washed in blood. All of that will happen. Immense, unbelievable suffering. And after all that we still reach Type III and it was all worth it.

  More likely we devolve into Kardashian Type society of shallow attention seekers. Or worse, we move towards a permanent divide of the insanely rich who own the machines and everyone else who struggle to make it through the day. There are some who would say that both of these have already happened.

we stole the promethean fire humans won't have to work again the spark of intelligence is now living in machines by the way, we still have to make small annoying interruptions to digital content to display ads, everything falls apart if we don't do that -- Something feels off in this whole idea. I think you guys are overestimating the importance of AI. It's just another commodity.

  we currently technically do not need to work much (as a specie). it s a societal choice (we're not the ones making it but it is still a choice).

    That specific phrase is not load-bearing to my argument. It's just an sample of things AI enthusiasts say.

  I think LLMs are just another commodity. I think AI would be something different. Emphasis on the conditional tense.

    It wasn't me that muddled the terminology. I ain't going to fix it. They wanted to make those synonyms, that's what they'll get.
