AI's Rapid Rise Sparks Debate on Human Future

Atulit Gaur tweeted that he hates AI performing what human intelligence was meant to do, naming the millennium problems and curing cancer as intimate human territory rather than just jobs. Eddie Nasser replied that continuous and nearly free drug discovery or on-demand tutors for every child could result. Shailin Thomas questioned whether society improves when unemployment reaches 60 percent and only company owners can afford necessities. Sahil H called AI curing cancer and Alzheimer's in less time one of its best uses. Brandon Burr compared the shift to the 1776 economy where 30 percent involved firewood. Greg Fodor noted UBI has been discussed since GPT-2, and Nikhil Krishnan said few expect 60 percent unemployment.
