The pleasure of the 1v1 or small team v. small team is inherently human , if AI is too strong it would take care of our needs while we compete against each other for brain and muscle bragging rights among humans. And it would feel exactly the same, much like the team who saves itself from relegation on the last matchday celebrates just as hard as the one who wins the Championship being some 70 points ahead.
This whole "ooh no I am not gonna be the one building the future, it's gonna be AI instead" panic is very unjustified, it's already like this.
In fact without the help of the other 8bn humans a single individual left alone in the wild would struggle to build a shelter and start a fire, and all the excel proficiency and LLM knowledge won't save your ass from wild animals either.
People who are afraid of AI need to zoom out and realize that their precious job they fear losing is not like being on top of a pyramid, it's more like being a cogwheel within a system of 8bn cogwheels interacting with each other. You might think yours is special because it's a little bit bigger or spins a little bit faster but if you zoom out you'd not even notice it and if it stops the effect on the whole system is zero and it's immediately replaced anyway.
