Reply to comment by Effective-Dig8734 in What will singularity lead to? by sonderlingg

The singularity is not just more "rapid change". It's not like the Industrial Revolution or the Information Revolution or the Internet. All of these things were still under the control of merely human minds.

Beings of mere human intelligence will be like animals after the singularity, compared to the vast and cool intellects in charge of the world. Asking a human about what it will be like is like asking a dog or a raccoon about the Industrial Revolution.

Our intelligence will be similiar to what we are to dogs but I don’t think there’s enough reason to believe we will be treated as we treat dogs

Pekinese maybe. One of those terrible mutants with the crushed sinus.

Depends on where you are in the world as to how dogs are treated. Some are treated very well, some have medical experiments conducted on them, some are euthanized, some are eaten. How ASI will regard humans remains to be seen.
