I like working towards and accomplishing goals and being in control of my own life. I don't want an AI to take that away from me and I'm not gonna hold my breath for it.

Ok but what you're suggesting is infinite contentment and happiness which more or less is like an opiate high. And if I want a life with imperfection but purpose I can already do that right now. The concept seems existentially horrifying and I hate the idea of AI even more now.

Like a permanent opiate high? Sounds desirable if I like the idea of functionally not being a person anymore. But I don't, because I'm not an algorithm that is designed to seek out maximum pleasure for minimal pain. I can already be happy by living and doing actions that fulfill a purpose I desire. That also kind of gives me the thought that maybe my life is already some sort of super immersive VR simulation. All of this seems existentially terrifying and the stuff that has been said has made the idea of AGI way worse.

I want a future that's more like star trek, not one where we're all hooked up to videogames to replicate success and doing stuff.
