AI and the future

AI is unquestionably the future, even if you don't like it. It is too useful and too powerful to ignore.
But when the future is fully automated, what is the point of living as a human?

The next physics breakthrough? Discovered by AI independently.
The next big tech product? Imagined by AI.
The next bestselling book? Fully AI generated.
Add in robotics, and there goes all manual labor.
There is no place for humans in a future where intellectual work is automated alongside manual work.

This is our future. We have will have no meaningful work. We are approaching Wall-E levels of degeneracy. What are we supposed to even do as humans when all work is automated?

Either we somehow all live peaceful zero productivity utopian lives in heaven on earth while our AI overlords care for us, or we devolve into a debauched, degenerate society where we indulge excessively in pleasures and live meaningless, aimless existences. I think the latter is more likely. Why are we not more afraid of this future?

where is this ai slop quote from i know you dont believe ts

semi related but did u see the dude who resigned from anthropic after working for open ai / anthropic?

he said the ai race is going to cause human destruction or something

super interesting shit is brewing up and i want to see what (if anything) slows down these frontier companioes

This is AI too.

say im alive

“im alive”

omg

I don't think thats ever going to happen. The price of maintaining these ai are something you need to factor in. All ai companies right now are just artificially pumping up their prices only a matter of fact before they fall from grace.

We are going to have the next biggest financial crises before 2030 and thats the scariest part nobody is accounting for

AI will never replace us theyll fall before we rise

Neither of those two outcomes you mention will materialize, society has a scarcity mindset which probably ends up in some neo-techno feudalism.

we are really using false dichotomy in 2026

everyone living peacefully without work is impossible, humans need income for basic necessities

and for the other outcome, there is a 0% chance where humans become hedonistic

Let's hope the sun finds a way to expire faster

Yes, it is the future, but I don't agree with what all you said about the breakthroughs. As of now, AI still acts like a huge encyclopedia of INFORMATION (not knowledge), and you can ask it something and it'll find a relevant answer. It's not "thinking" by itself and just acts like a really advanced search engine

As for the generation part, it just fuses a couple of known things to make something "new". In my experience, all times I've tried generating AI images for experimentation, there's always something picked directly from an art style, there's nothing new. Human creativity still prevails

However, I have a strong opinion that critical thinking (or thinking in general) becomes a rare skill as many people today tend to indulge in superficial stuff and not really think for themselves (AI image trends, flexing off, etc). People will have meaningful work, because AI isn't really all that. Shit can't process a regular "Hello" without frying off your token usage. However, AI will automate so much of the monotonous tasks that people who feed off doing really basic tasks would need to skill up. And their thinking skills would be so fried that it becomes next-to-impossible for them to do so
