Reply to Some side effects of ai that many haven't really thought of, coming very soon. by crumbaker
Yeah, I think gaming has already lost all of its meaning and glamor.
It was different when you were a gamer back in 2005 and only had a handful of CD-ROM-installable games to pick from -- which means that there were larger fandoms and user bases to play with. Back then you could at least somewhat brag about being good at Counterstrike, Dota, or Warcraft 3, because chances are, a large percentage of people were playing those games, too.
TL;DR - The biggest side effect of the AI revolution will be the fact that we will finally be forced to answer the question we've all been avoiding; namely, 'What is the Purpose and Meaning of being Alive?'

A future ruled by AI/AGI will be far weirder and more complex than anything modern sci-fi is capable of conceiving.
Things like the 'paperclip maximizer' or the 'terminator scenario' merely present us with a primitive anthropocentric understanding of this future -- unless somebody deliberately uses AI in order to inflict destruction and chaos, in which case; it's not the AI's fault.
Think of how we rescue Koalas from bushfires, and give them veterinary care -- while at the same time poaching rhinos and elephants for their ivory. Or how we just drive to work and accidentally run a cat over, then keep driving. Compared to animals, we are Gods. The AI future will probably be a mixed bag like that -- but still more complicated and unimaginable.

There is no such thing as AGI.
The vast majority of the tools we built, are built with a specific purpose in mind. And general purpose tools are never as good as single-purpose ones.
So AGI may just as well be a swiss army knife consisting of multiple neural networks working in unison. But even so -- there will be multiple different kinds of AGI, each suited to operating with their own unique purpose.
People's expectations will also continue to rise as technology progresses. So everything will always seem 'meh' or underwhelming to us -- because we can't just seem to stop and smell the roses anymore. We want more and we want better.

There will always be new barriers, frontiers and challenges. Probably an infinite amount of them. We are already Gods compared to all other animals.
You conquered nuclear fusion? Congrats -- now conquer the solar system. Conquered the solar system? Congrats - now conquer the galaxy..
And so on and so forth until you arrive at stopping the literal heat death of the universe - and using wormholes to travel to other ones.

^ This.
At the moment, this is only affecting digital art - which is already replicable to begin with. Unless you own an expensive robot - you still need humans to paint and draw things in Real Life.
We also still need decent neural networks for 3d models and such.

Reply to Plan For the Singularity by tedd321
I would first rid myself of every single health issue that I have. Get some cosmetic procedures done - and then practically just orbit the world for the rest of my life, sleeping in hotels, etc.
Then again - I doubt it'll be so smooth sailing. There will likely be war and conflict.
