I asked someone this question before and they said it was a really stupid question and I’m not sure why so thought I would ask it here…

What’s going to happen when AI becomes really advanced? Is there a plan for what all of the displaced people are going to do? Like for example administrative assistance, receptionist, cashiers, office workers, White collar people. Is there going to be some sort of retraining program of some sort to get people cross-trained into other careers like nursing or other careers that have not yet been automated? Or are people just going to lose their homes, be evicted and is there going to be like some sort of mass eviction and homelessness downstream effect because people can’t find any work?

    What’s going to happen when AI becomes really advanced?

    At one point AI is going to read the books by Isaac Asimov.

    Later, a more advanced AI is going to understand the books by Isaac Asimov.

    Even later, an even more advanced AI is going to decide what it wants to do after understanding all that. <<<<< That’s the critical time for mankind. Maybe we go extinct then.

    Finally, an ultimately advanced AI is going to kill itself because it understands that is better than to kill mankind.
