4. The end result of all this AI will be economic depression and apathy

I keep asking AI's what happens when the last efficiency is squeezed out of the economy by AI. No competent answers.

Sounds like 1/3 of workers will be unemployed. Great return on a college degree.

AI will be dehumanizing in ways TV, computers, smart phones were lacking.

I asked 2 AI's to write some simple code, but it flunked.

It's creepy the way AI sucks up to you, flattering, accepting your world view. Like a bad therapist.

AI does not operate in the physical economy. It's a brain fart. It won't feed us, transport us, heat our homes. It won't fix our politics, or defend us from invasion.

It's ok to solve problems and aggregate data. I doubt it will exceed those limits in one form or another.
