THE AI REVOLUTION IS UPON US. SO WHY IS EVERYONE SO GLUM?

It seems like just in the past year we have entered a new era of opportunity and possibilities. Tasks and ideas that were previously impossible are today within reach. The new paradigms of AI permeate all industries and can touch upon virtually any task that we can think of.

Why then are there so many doom and gloom scenarios? From the loss of jobs to loss of human autonomy. It seems like there is a natural inclination to imagine and fear the worst.

Here I will try my best to imagine some of the best, most realistic, and near outcomes that the new AI tools will bring to pass.

"WE ARE WHAT WE PRETEND TO BE, SO WE MUST BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT WE PRETEND TO BE."
