AI is fun for the fact that you can pretty much search anything and get a decent answer...

But the general theme of human replacement doesn't sit well with me.

First, it removes human connection. Humans have always relied on communication with other tribes, family, what have you... to compromise, brainstorm, innovate, coexist... These days you don't get to interact with a person checking out your groceries. You call a bank and AI is doing everything in its power to not connect you to a person to talk to. We "Google" things now rather than relying on our community to teach us... To me, the loss in relying on others removes an evolutionary condition that got us here and replaces it with something that is nowhere near human. As AI advances, this is only going to get worse.

Second, there are a lot of jobs on that will be automized the further AI advances. I find myself asking, why bring children into a world where opportunity is dwindling? What jobs will be available for people in 50 years? What are people on the lower end of the totem pole going to do with the dwindling opportunity? While AI will create some jobs, I think it will replace a hell of a lot more. In a world with a growing affordability crisis... what will people do if the basic jobs are gone? Just seems like a world of AI will only increase the wealth gap.

What we're seeing is the very, very tip of the iceberg in terms of automation... I'm not sure how good of a thing that is for a civilization that relies on hard work to find purpose.
