Heard some people say that a so called “Human Zoo” is one of the best-case scenarios with pseudo-omniscient AI taking care of all of us. Supposedly that comes true, to what ends would humans continue to keep a population going, simply due to biological bias? You think humans would devolve in some way, or become intellectually atrophied?
It’s hard for me to believe AI might take care of us when its intent is to replace us, but it’s possible. If that happens humans are resilient and adaptable enough I don’t think we are going anywhere unless something causes another extinction event, like global warming. Slaves and serfs kept their will to live thousands of years ago so people today will too. If we manage to stay alive and AI sticks around for 10,000+ years then yes I think we will evolve to depend on AI somehow, but that either means humans will still be smart enough to fix and improve AI, or AI will become self-sufficient and it won’t need to keep us around. Any way I look at it is bleak.
