> it would take care of our needs while we compete against each other for brain and muscle bragging rights

Yuck, thanks but no thanks. I don't see any reason to find solace in reducing my own life to that.

> This whole "ooh no I am not gonna be the one building the future, it's gonna be AI" panic is very unjustified, it's already like this.

It's not, and I don't see it's unjustified

> In fact without the help of the other 8bn human a single individual left alone in the wild would struggle to build a shelter and start a fire.

If the AI is doing the building, we have to take care of the destroying, in this case destroying other people within a ring or an oktagon, at the poker table or on the chessboard, sailing and surfing competitions for the more exotic personalities, also destroying pu*ies of all ethnicities too, that is always a good relief for anxiety.

Think for a second the source of the materials needed to put together the phone you are typing from and the whole internet infrastructure , it's the 8bn people who put together all of that not you

> > Citation needed.

Go do it then, also remember that the fact that wood + spark make a fire is not your knowledge it was passed over to you

What a bunch of vapid nonsense.

That exactly proves my point.

You seem to be under the impression that I somehow am not capable to do so.

And that's not even the point, just living outside the world because you can't bear being in it is not something desirable to me nor valiant on a general premise; not sure why you're taking that as a counterpoint to my distress.

Do not fear becoming irrelevant and replaceable due the fact that the age of AI is (allegedly, stock-pump-promotionally) looming.

You already are.

And your parents before you and your grandparents etc.

To reach some sort of individual human relevancy and irrepleacibility you need to go back to the point in time when there were about 10,000 humans.

1/10000.

Nominator/Denominator, these are the basics son.

You're making a lot of assumptions here, but that's not surprising coming from someone who's just throwing around vague statements as if they were fragments of an undeniable truth that's bound to leave readers in awe of your wisdom.

I reckon that's the reason why you jump to projecting the fear of being replaceable unto others - especially after it's quite clear from the other comments that I'm not interested in the slightest in being relevant and/or replaced.

I don't care. That's not the point. I've always been a cog in the machine. Even celebrities are. Even tech bros are. AI won't change that or the uniqueness of people, but will change how people perceive their own existence in the world. I know this is all wasted on someone who counters someone on the close verge of suicide with the argument that "at least you can have interracial sex lmao", so I'll just stop here. Cheers
