No, demand is relative to cost. There are many things that people want, but it’s just to expensive to do, and not worth the cost.

As software tooling becomes more powerful, things that used to be expensive become cheaper and the cost/value proposition changes. That’s why new technological advancement constantly unlocks new demand.

Economics incentives are a human concern. Once humans capabilities are surpassed, all the rules we know about economics go out the window.

No, increasing supply does not reduce demand.

I didn’t say infinite, I said almost infinite. Historically speaking the demand for new technology has only increased as new technologies become available. Obviously that can go on forever, but we are definitely several thousand years away from meeting demand.

That’s making some pretty big assumption with absolutely no basis.

You’re only thinking about changes in supply. But the demand for applications of new technologies is almost infinite.

Of course at some point productivity becomes so high the idea of “working for a living” becomes unnecessary.

You’re assuming that we can’t use AI to enhance our own biological capabilities…

Much more likely that the need for software engineers will continue to grow and they will just become significantly more productive.

That’s…that’s just mind bogglingly incorrect. How can people be this fucking ignorant??? Do you know absolutely nothing about history??

If you can automate software engineering, you can automate anything. Software engineering will be the last job to be lost to AI.

ChatGPT is only “AI” in the marketing sense. The AI from science fiction is called “Artificial General Intelligence”. That is still many years away.

Come in to post exactly this.

The point is that’s just regurgitating connections and associations that already exist in its data set. It cannot reason about those concepts to build new connections.

Google is not an exhaustive resource.

It’s doesn’t understand the connection. It’s just paraphrasing someone else that does.

Narcissism is loud, generosity is quiet. If you’re just a passive listener, guess which you’ll notice more? But if you actively look for it, you’ll find there is exponentially more generosity than narcissism in the world.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means…

Fickle - changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties or affections.

3 years in prison in exchange for $400,000??? I’d take that deal!!

I would gladly give up the poetry of Silvia Plath, the art of Van Gogh and the music of Kurt Cobain if it would mean that they could have lived lives free of mental illness. What kind of monster would put another human being through that for the sake of entertaining an audience…

Title is misleading, you didn’t ask it to write about itself, you asked it to write about a fictional AI that has feelings.

That’s what social media has always been…have you been under a rock for the past 15 years??

That’s not what eugenics means.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

It’s very strange to use robotics and eugenics in the same context, “robotics” is a technology, “eugenics” is an ideology that is pretty much universally considered to be unethical.

The idea that eugenics will become commonplace is pretty much nonsense.

Came here to say exactly this, thank you.

You just described the exact solution to you own problem. Categorise anything to whacky as “wizardry” and just move on.

Humanity has spent hundreds of thousands of years not understanding the nature of reality, we seem to have managed just fine so far.

I’m honestly not seeing anything you listed that would be reality/sanity breaking in anyway. The fact that you can imagine them at all should be proof enough of that. People from 1000 years ago would definitely struggle initially with many of the concepts we face in every day life today, but humans are amazingly adaptable.
