You're right! AI makes us ask really important questions about our own intelligence. I think it will lead to greater recognition that we are first and foremost animals: creatures of intention and action. I think we've put way too much emphasis on our intellectual dimension in the last few hundred years. To the point that some people started to believe that was what we are.


Yup. And the real danger of AI is not that it enslaves humans but in that it will bring great disillusionment and existential crisis.

Someone should write a blog post about this to warn humanity.


the real danger isn't that it enslaves humans, but that it makes most humans useless to those with capital and robots and AI

at that point, capital can tell most humans to just go away and die, and can use their technology to protect themselves in the meantime
