Reply to comment by Shiningc in Why the future of human workforce is manual labour by Primary-Food6413

I have a theory about this. The only way to know true AGI is here is if they are actual participants in the economy, that means not only just consuming resources to sustain themselves but being able to desire goods and services. If not it’s just sophisticated code. This probably has complications that would require AI rights. We would reach Super-ai without actually reaching AGI.

The only fear I have is the super rich owning super-ai and devaluing human labor causing a snake eating its own tail scenario. AI can have near-infinite production but if no one can afford it then the value of that production is actually zero.

I am probably leaning more towards cybernetics as the economy can still function. Anything other scenario the economy or society would collapse and self-destruct before any dystopian AI develops

I tend to think that an AI that the rich or the corporations can easily contain or control won’t be a remarkable one, just like a remarkable human being isn’t going to be easy to contain for a corporation and what not. I mean it is possible, depending on how such a being is going to be manipulated by its masters.

Oh you don’t need a sentient AI. Just a competent regular one will do. Just like how Amazon can already undercut competitors by selling just a little under what their users are selling by learning from transaction behaviour.
