> But I don't expect AI to accelerate humans or improve our productivity for long. I can already see the first signs of a future where the AI doesn't need us for anything at all. The real question is, why is this a bad thing? Every task that is automated is a task that humans no longer have to do. It doesn't mean that humans still can't do it for reasons other than "because it needs to be done". And if the answer is "why bother if X does it better", then what does it say about the motivations of doing it in the first place?
