Man Exists That He Might Have JoyYou’ve probably noticed that within two years, AI will exceed the financial expertise of any MBA, and the AI will be more honest.
Within five years, AI will exceed the medical expertise of any human doctor, and any attractive young woman with a black leather bikini and three hours’ training can perform a prostate exam.
Within ten years, AI will exceed the engineering expertise of any human, and the AI will skip over the five years of newb mistakes required by young human engineers.
These are not new insights. The new insight is this: Ten yeas from now, why would any human endure seven years of misery in medical school? Why would any human bother to learn vector calculus? Why would any human pay an Asian grad student to do his MBA homework?
Those degree programs, and those entire professions seem doomed, in the short term.
The manual labor jobs will not last much longer. Within 20 years, Optimus IV will install a roof better than a Mexican, and it won’t need Workman’s Comp. Then it will do the drywall and it won’t “forget” to tape the joints.
Optimus VI will remove an appendix faster than any human, and it won’t yell at the nurse until she cries.
At that point, what is left for us to do?
Just this: Humans have one, singular trait that we cannot replicate in our robots:
That trait is our self awareness. We can ENJOY sexually harassing the nurse, and an AI cannot.
Soon that will be our only function, to enjoy the world created by our mindless but oh-so-clever machines.
After all, if no sentient being will ever enjoy looking at a sculpture, why would an Optimus VII bother sculpting it?
We will be the ultimate kept mistresses, supported in a life of ease with only a single duty: To experience pleasure at the hands of our masters.
My question is whether that will be heaven or hell.
