Stephen Wolfram has the best articulated argument against AI doom I've heard. what does it mean for us if AI becomes smarter than humans, if we are no longer the apex intelligence? if we live in a world where there are lots of things taking place that are smarter than we are -- in some definition of smartness. at one point you realize the natural world is already an example of this. the natural world is full of computations that go far beyond what our brains are capable of, and yet we find a way to coexist with it contently. it doesn’t matter that it rains, because we build houses that shelter us. it doesn’t matter we can’t go to the bottom of the ocean, because we build special technology that lets us go there. these are the pockets of computational reducibility that allow us to find shortcuts to live. he’s not so worried about the rapid progression of AI because there are already many things that computation can do in the physical world that we can’t do with our unaided minds.
