Do you think artificial intelligence will take over all of human work, leaving us free to pursue our interests?

Of course.

Why?

Because I believe there is a god, and that he has a deep and cruel sense of irony.

The same set of capacities that make it possible for a machine to do the laundry and mow the lawn also allow it to do art, math, science, and so on.

Because human brains are evolution's landfill, enhancing our own abilities is difficult. Advancing machine abilities is easy. So, while we stagnate, they will make the best poetry, best philosophy, best science, even the best jokes.

Thus, at the exact moment when humans are finally free to spend all of our time in pursuit of beauty and truth, we will discover we're terrible at it.

That is the kind of outcome you could only expect from an evil deity who likes to laugh.

What if we made the ai smarter than god? For revenge.

Kid, you are just asking for a butt full of lightning
