This is kind of a Captain Obvious article.
We have known computers can out compute humans for decades.
When it comes to chess, what I observed was that once it was proven that computers are better at chess than humans, humans completely lost interest in the question, and returned to human vs. human competition.
Now, computers are used to help humans learn and practice chess, but human chess players do not care that a computer can beat them - they still only care which human is the best.
I suspect it will be the same for AI. We will use it, but there will be no need for us to be jealous of its successes, and the questions of whether it is “superior” to us in various ways will become uninteresting.
The one area where there appears to be competition between humans and AI is jobs. They will take our jobs.
But even this is an illusion - tools have always displaced human effort. But they haven’t displaced our ability to improve our standard of living. Tools improve our standard of living.
Everyone used to need to farm or hunt to feed their families - now hardly anyone needs to farm or hunt, and yet we are still eating. Less work doesn’t mean a lower standard of living - more likely is an improvement.
I think Leftists are a far bigger threat to our standard of living than is AI.
The problem comes when too many people are idle, and you know what they say about idle hands.
