IF Ai & droids grow exponentially & cause a post-scarcity world - what are YOU going to do all day?

I'll worry about it when it becomes an actual problem.

I saw that movie. But AI can only "think" the way they have been programed to think.

Ai is not programmed - it's trained. Sometimes we don't know what it is 'learning' in this statistical accumulation of knowledge. (At the base level of computers are binary gates or bytes, at the base level of Ai is 'tokens'. Fundamentally different thing.)

They let one Ai trawl the net for grammar - and it 'taught' itself chemistry to a Phd level! We don't really know what's going on in there - which is why every Ai should have a transparent 'scratch pad' where we can watch its thinking processes.

Ahhh, the thought police.

Haha - well if you want to anthropomorphise applied statistics... ?
All good - I see what you did there.

Or the two AIs conversing with each other that developed their own private grammar.
