Dumb people are afraid a.i's going to make people dumb? Well, I got news for you! 75% of the population is already dumb. They demand everything to be fed to them within 5-10 seconds or they give up on it. What does a.i do best? Fed it to you in that timeframe in ways that allow the vast majority of people to at least glimpse at real knowledge.
I disagree with such people.
Smart people will continue to wonder, consider and looking for more. As they type in what is that? How does that work? A.i will give them knowledge that would have taken years within weeks.
And lets be honest more knowledge and intelligence in this world is a good thing. One could argue that stupid people will continue to be stupid and find ways not to study but that is who they're.
"The only way it could go right is by automating production to do away with poverty, homelessness and hunger. There really is no excuse not to do so with such tools as a.i and humanoid robotics. If the rich don't allow for that then we'll likely have a global french revolution and kill off the entire elite. Probably one of the most violent events by far in human history."
I think within the next 50-75 years if the rich and tech industry doesn't set up a system that is pro-human that provides for our needs. We'll probably kill them all. It is impossible for them to automate just for profit and to literally f*ck over the human population without it benefiting us.
The rich would have to be aliens that want to kill off our species or undermine our ability to compete with them for the rich to do anything else.
It would be a little different then a basic income....Think of it as an automated production line in the idea of an public nationalized utility that is maintained by society through robotic a.i management . But to feed people and provide a floor in a future society that doesn't have work for most people to continue to live off of capitalism.
A.i could run the machines and robots that run the massive farms, meat plants and creation of basic goods. Kind of like china's dark factories that are already starting to do this but in food production. Hell, maybe the a.i and machines would also fix and repair any problem that needs to be fixed one day??? I think it is doable.
In such a world we can't rely on capitalism and everyone needing a shitty sorting or factory job in order to survive. It would be utterly impossible and unethical.
One example of this for plant based food would be....
Plants would be planted be robot
Watered and given what ever need by robot or automated system
Picked by robot
Put into driverless trucks by robot
Robot would unload trucks and take food to stores
=
Another example would be
Cow or pig gets born
Cow or pig gets fed
Robot or automated system slaughters cow or pig once old enough
Puts the meat into the truck
Drives it to stores
===
We could go example by example but this would expand throughout the entire food production line. This would allow for all humans to be fed and for the end of hunger and poverty. Yes, i am suggesting not just food but housing and basic goods.
Some humans might be needed during the first century or so, but could they be linked up with the robots in the comfort of their homes. This way they'd get more benefits then a normal person. Otherwise, knowledge and what you really wish to do in this future would be what you could focus on without the fear.
