You won't be outperformed in humanity. And that's precisely the point. People will start rejecting AI and robots en masse, because they'll get disgusted by it, the same way you are disgusted when eating a "powder shake" kind of meal compared to a whole, earthy, flavorful, home-made meal

Workers hated the factories of the Industrial Revolution but the masses also wanted those sweet sweet high quality textiles that were tighter knit and lasted longer than anything handspun. The same will happen for AI.

Also, further counterpoint, if we reject industrial produced food, who spent $139 billion at McDonald’s in 2025?

What does that even mean?

BTW I consumed Soylent regularly for several years while living in the US and was never "disgusted" by it. Would love to get my hands on some now as it's been so long. You should watch your arguments.

What does "watch your arguments" even mean? It's just "Dont say anything I disagree with" with a threatening tone.

Why bother asking a question you already have your preferred straw man answer to?

For many humans "watch your arguments" carries the same tone as "pay attention to those boxes you're standing on".

A reasonable assumption here would be the GP questioning the assumed universal truth of:

  the same way [ all people ]  are disgusted when eating a "powder shake" kind of meal compared to a whole, earthy, flavorful, home-made meal

If people were rejecting them en masse now we might have a chance to reverse this

As it stands I am not hopeful. I believe the frog will be well and truly boiled long before we reach the rejection en masse stage and it will be too late to change course
