Its 1 thing to have a tool that can save you time, money and effort on whatever youre doing
But it is a problem when people are wanting a future where everything is expected to be done for you while not even bothering to give a single thought into it.
From the work that youre supposed to do, to even the creative ideas youre supposed to imagine, and even down to the simple things like what to fucking eat, seems like so many people just want AI to do the thinking or immediately show the result.

Your art will be your art. More time to live your life is always a good thing. There always will be problems and goals, it's just a dramatically different situation we don't know anything about. In fact, we tend to make more and more problems and goals as we "evolve".

I mean we're already making a problem because of one problem, which is overdependency via ego.
More time to live our lives but with how people are acting now, many would rather be toxic while expecting as many good results with no effort. Not even the slightest effort.
Not to mention, problems and goals should always start with us, and end with us, thats how we evolve. Relying on someone or something else too much to create a solution for any problem will be a bad thing, especially when the need for creativity or even textbook knowledge comes up.

Makes sense. However, does AI necessarily have ego? And do we? Maybe that's the next big step for us to understand our true nature. Selection working on consciousness, maybe? Sounds like hopium, I see... :)

"Ah but you see AI doesnt have ego" my brother in christ we're at a phase where people are calling themselves experts for typing a single sentence to an AI is what i mean.

I asked you all: does it necessarily have an ego?
Not equal with your statement. Just a "what if".

It doesnt have one now, but i'd never wanna know what happens if AI does gain an egotistical consciousness.
But in the end, im still talking about is the problem of human beings exploiting AI in order to gain a status that isnt earned.

Okay, finally, I understand. I don't think we're hopeless, but of course, it's a close call, smartest way is care, as always. Just trying to say: don't forget the "goal", or at least the hope, this is how the good way can gain some power. Yes, I'm from Marvel... :P

Imagine thinking AI is actually going to give people more time to live their life. What world are you living in? Since when has automation actually done anything to stop people from being wage slaves or prevented the insane amount of wealth inequality we are experiencing today?

"More time" doesn't equal "no classic human work here". If it starts to be a thing, some should learn to stay on roll somehow, that's true. Maybe true slaves will be those who "normally" can't live without destruction, nobody knows.
