Exactly what I was thinking. If he didn't know before, he definitely knows now.

I think AI can make contrived records that sound like every other record. I don't think it can make true timeless and classic music.

On a completely different note, I think the premise of this idea sounds absolutely dystopian.

I wouldn't count on that always being the case.

There are many reasons people aren't having kids. Climate change and general meaninglessness come to mind.

The worst customer service you've ever experienced.

I think this assumes being offended precedes critical thinking. I doubt that.

I've been a musician since I was a kid, so I've always had alternative ways of socializing by being in bands and doing various things that are not intellectual at all.

Could it be possible that nothing it truly conscious? Maybe we're all cogs in the wheel of a giant chemical reaction? In the future, someone may build a robot with a ChatGPT brain, and maybe that will be what passes for as AGI. I haven't found any human endeavor that adequately explains consciousness. Consciousness and intelligence are probably two different things. AI is not conscious, and its intelligence varies, sometimes being very stupid, and sometimes being very smart. It's a system inside of another system.

People have no incentive to go above and beyond. It's been made abundantly clear that employers do not care about employees. Elon just got paid $56,000,000,000, and they simultaneously laid off 10,000 employees. Every time you look up, another company is laying off workers. Workers are being replace by AI every day. Many jobs are pointless, and don't really do anything but feed an empty capitalist system. Inflation has affected everyone but the 1%. Houses are unaffordable. People are just mean in general. Why would anyone want to work?

My immediate reaction is that the media just needs something to talk about.

The study suggests we may be alone in the Galaxy, not the Universe, however. Very different things.

I agree with this take. Maybe this is your calling to free yourself from the cycle of desire and achieve true personal liberation.
