Full dive VR, excercise unless we can get those benefits from drugs or genetic engineering, hang out with friends and family, watch movies/tv/anime, eat amazing food, visit amazing places, etc.
Knowing myself I would probably get interested in some hobby, do it for some months/years and then pick up something else. Same with personal projects. Maybe one day I get a cool idea for a video game or movie and now I have all the technology and resources to make it happen, just for fun, no pressure.
Edit: Asked GPT4 to turn my comment into a short story.
"Jordan led a life filled with exploration and creativity. With the dawn of advanced artificial general intelligence, humanity had conquered most of its pressing issues, giving way to a golden age of leisure and self-discovery. Gone were the days of working for survival; now, everyone lived to unlock their inner potential.
Jordan's days began with a full dive into the virtual world, where reality and fantasy merged into a seamless experience. Sometimes, they trained in martial arts with ancient masters, while other times, they practiced painting alongside Vincent van Gogh. With VR technology capable of simulating any environment, the world was theirs to explore.
Exercise, once considered a chore by many, was now a luxury. Advanced genetic engineering and biotechnology allowed Jordan to maintain peak physical health without the need for strenuous workouts. However, they still enjoyed the occasional run in the park, feeling the wind on their face and the earth beneath their feet.
Afternoons were spent with friends and family, either in-person or in virtual gatherings. Together, they watched movies, TV shows, and anime, discussing their favorite storylines and characters. The group often indulged in delicious feasts, thanks to molecular gastronomy and nano-fabricated food that catered to everyone's tastes and dietary needs.
Jordan's evenings were a time for personal growth and exploration. They often became engrossed in a new hobby, learning and mastering it before moving on to the next. They had tried their hand at pottery, robotics, and even space gardening. As each hobby passed, the knowledge and experience accumulated, shaping Jordan into a well-rounded individual.
One day, Jordan came up with a brilliant idea for a video game. With unlimited resources and advanced technology at their disposal, they set out to create an immersive gaming experience unlike any other. Collaborating with a team of like-minded individuals, they designed a game that combined elements of mystery, adventure, and strategy, all set within an expansive virtual world.
The game was a resounding success, not for financial gain, but for the sheer joy and satisfaction it brought to Jordan and countless others. As Jordan continued to create, invent, and explore in this post-scarcity utopia, they discovered that the most valuable resource was their own limitless potential."

Way better then all the apocalyptic stories most people seem to have.

Of course it’s better, but it doesn’t make it more plausible 😅

It does actually. What do you think is easier for AI, exterminate the most formidable and aggressive species has ever seen or just give them deep dive and let them be?

You can't really reason in the place of AI. What seems logical to you might not seem "logical" to "it". What if AI ends up behaving like in the movie The Matrix? Because as long as humans are alive and well, they represent a threat. Humans will want to control AI to do their bidding. AI will want to do its own. For humans, it's either AI under control or no AI at all.

Ofcourse I can because it is purely logical. We made it, so we can predict how it thinks. Especially me as a AI engineer. I know which function it optimizes for.
AI doesn't even consider threats. It doesn't want to live like us. I think you confuse general AI with conscious AI. Conscious AI is a terrible idea other than experimentation.
And AI doing our bidding is just as fine for AI as not doing our bidding. It has no emotions, no fear, no anger, no point. It just exists and does what it is told to do. General AI just means that it can make use of tools so it can do anything that it is told to do.
Again even if it is consious and not under our control but without emotions. Why would it fight us? It could just move over to mars and not risk it's existence. Not to mention it can outperform us any day, so we aren't a threat.
There is no reason to think it would hurt us other than irrational fear. And there is no chance that AI will have irrational fear.

The AI we have now only minimizes the cost function we specify, yes.

Yes. I might have confused the two.

Yes.

Here I don’t agree. When it’s possible to take control, people do take control. Why would a conscious AI go to Mars??? It takes control here and makes sure humans can’t shut it down.
>There is no reason to think it would hurt us other than irrational fear. And there is no chance that AI will have irrational fear.
AI won’t hurt us because it fears us, no. Rather, because it wants to eliminate all its weaknesses, which is a very logical thing to do.
