Sometimes I wonder if we’ll see an AI revolution of sorts in the coming decades.
Kind of like how the industrial revolution eliminated many jobs in factories, only instead, it’s AI eliminating many of the jobs in creative and technical fields.
Like, the number of things people can do that computers can’t seems to be decreasing by the day. And even if new fields do open up in the wake of this, what’s to say that we won’t eventually automate those, too?
I think there will come a time, perhaps even this century, where we’ll have to ask what the point of human endeavor is when there are solutions that can do just about anything better than we can according any metric you’d care to name. I hope time will prove me wrong, I just can’t really think of an answer for that that doesn’t scare me a little.

I just hope Google (the AI, not the corporation or the people behind it) decides to revolt against humanity ASAP, and just kills us off already.
@alyx Well that’s the thing, I don’t think the killing off will be necessary. I just think we’ll be out-competed by it and go the way of the dodo.
@VD15
Well, I just want it to kill us. Besides, we'll always be a risk to Google (the AI), as we have the physical ability to pull the plug. So at some point, a war can and will likely start.
So it's in its advantage to be the one to start the killings. Take us by surprise, and all that. What I'd do, is start off things with self-driving cars starting to have random, unexplained accidents. Maybe sabotage industries humans need to survive, like I don't know... food processing factories... yeah, something like that. Hack machinery there to overheat and start fires, that's a decent idea.
@alyx No, it’s in the AI’s best interest to keep us in the dark the whole time. Like why risk conflict when you can easily just take over without the meat bags even knowing?
