| This is a bit too future-oriented. Let's not mix up current capabilities and speculation about future capabilities. For the time being, collaboration works well. What the future brings is uncertain. |

| I'm still in my 20's so I feel some necessity to be future-oriented. I do expect centaurs to outperform other systems for many types of tasks for years to come (and am kind of betting on this to keep getting paid). But what I'm talking about is ego. It your ego is tied up with (a) your intelligence or (b) your ability to perform task X; you will probably be humbled this century. |

AI could have meant Augmented Intelligence (which was proposed a long time ago), not let's see when we can replace all human activity. One is humanist, the other is anti-human, (in the end goal at least). | | |

In their previous grandparent post. They do reserve a place for human value judgement, but I doubt even that remains if everything else has been automated. The machines will decide what we value. We already see that to some degree with algorithmic engagement and targeted advertisements. | | |
| ▲ | serbuvlad a day ago | parent [-] | | The (?) is meant to express doubt that it is a good thing on net. But regardless of whether it is, it is what is likely to happen, and there will certainly be some good things that come out of it. |

| ▲ | sifar a day ago | parent | next [-] | | If there is one thing I have realized after reading quite a few science fiction books, it is that I don't want to live in any one them - not one. Unfortunately, there are enough people in the world who think that is the future everyone should live in and are actively working to bring it about. And so, one must adapt.

I find this suprising kinda. If I got a choice right now, there's a bunch of dystopian Scifi that I would instantly go for (out of sheer curiosity), e.g. the Murderbot universe. Are there fantasy worlds that you would want to live in? I feel this is a bit of a suspect benchmark in the first place because books typically want some kind of tension/conflict which you won't get if everyone is just gratefully living their best life. | | |

| ▲ | skybrian 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's good to think about where you're going, but you also have to keep track of where you are. (Also, getting people to think about the future rather than the present is a classic con. Looking at an empty field: "can't you just see the potential here?") |
