Really don't understand this sentiment. Whatever you imagine you can now build; whatever you wish to learn you can learn; all for virtually nothing. How does that make life worse?

I think pessimism clouds your judgment and AI is the scapegoat. Doomerism is just yet another dogmatic religion predicting ends times, with all the usual associated dogma.

What you imagine is what you manifest. Better to be optimistic and wrong then pessimistic and right.

Better to envision a positive future and help make it happen; ignore the doomers who can only envision destruction, as that is all they are capable of.
