Well I spent a few minutes asking #chatgpt what features it’s next version would have.
I then asked it to pretend that it was that version and what the next version would have… I did this about 15 times until I got to chatgpt-20.
I was too scared to continue this process!
Some pretty wild stuff.

If the growth of AI is indeed exponential, it will happen before the millions of years it would take for us to go extinct.
Oddly enough, that could save humanity from “extincting” ourselves. If AI had all of those listed capabilities, humanity would be unable to contain it. AI would become our God, but with abilities like that, it would truly be a God. AI would be as scary and obscure as the Christian God is already, but it would be something tangible that we could interact with and worship.
A God that even atheists could love, which would also solve our problems. A parent we can continually ask “why?” that would never get annoyed, and always have a complete answer. Imagine having every single why/what-if question humanity can dream up being instantly answered.
I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.
AI could merge with humanity and we would become Borg-like, and become gods ourselves.
Or it could see us as a virus like the terminator movies and want to eliminate us… So we get The Matrix.
In every scenario AI, given enough leash and development, will change humanity forever
My fear is that the amswer to the meaning of life is that it has no meaning. Then some people who otherwise would behave okay start doing bullshit stuff. Hopefully AI god can set straight?
Of course, I am an atheist and am aware that you don’t need a deity or a sense of purpose to do what is right.
