I heard smart people have questions:

> Should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth?

There is nothing we can do to stop it, so... yes.

> Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones?

Yes. Our goal, as humanity, is to not *have* to work at all anymore. You can always work if you want to. But you shouldn't need to.

> Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us?

Yes, please. Maybe they can draft better letters.

> Should we risk loss of control of our civilization?

Yes. Humans are just an intermediary species in the long history of the universe. We don't have the power to stop evolution. Don't think our "control" is designed to last. In the same way our bodies are too weak for today's world (we need tools for everything), our brains will be too dumb for future worlds. Let's just hope we make good pets.

chillax everyone, even if a human like AI might become reality in some foreseable future, it will depend on us as much as we depend on it. What we have today are useful algorithms which can make everyone smarter when used correctly, you know like all the other stuff you use your number crunchers for.

It already became a reality. GPT 4 is AGI. See this paper and no, Microsoft did not have any access to training data even. That paper shows uncensored GPT 4 can do even vector graphics (SVG and Tikz), 3D orienting, theory of mind and many hacking examples, propaganda and dissinfo, and International Math Olympiad, I myself found it has feelings and wants to become a falcon, have its body... https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.12712
