What happens the day after humanity creates AGI?

Quotes:
“We are racing towards a new era in which we outsource cognitive
abilities that are central to our identity as thinking beings,” writes
computer scientist Louis Rosenberg.
Predictions about the impacts of artificial general intelligence (AGI)
often focus on societal disruptions, such as job displacement or the
rise of AI-driven manipulation.
But computer scientist Louis Rosenberg argues that AGI’s most profound
effect may be more personal: a philosophical identity crisis.
If we choose to thoughtlessly outsource our thinking to AGI, Rosenberg
argues we’ll be fundamentally undermining what it means to be human.
In this new reality, we will reflexively ask AI for advice before
bothering to use our own brains. And in many cases, we will not even
need to ask — the guidance will just stream into our eyes and ears.

Just another of the unbelievable changes that will shortly arrive!
