every other day i am reminded about the state of AI and i feel complete despair. why do people not realize exactly what you just said, that this endeavor is ultimately about replacing humanity? what other long-term result could the concept of AI possibly have? its like the biggest mass psychosis that has ever existed. whenever i talk to people about this, they always parrot the same thing almost word for word: people will just find new, better jobs. or, you know, something about the Luddites. its mass psychosis because they refuse to acknowledge the blindingly obvious and plain fact that humans wont be hired to do anything if humans are the worst at doing literally any task. and what are the consequences of such a world? people just draw a blank. its like the MIB came up and flashed them and they just go on with their day. i think the same is true even with you. you make this comment "so it probably wont happen, oh well." as if it werent an existential threat.
