Has Elon Musk been reading too much sci-fi? The more you think about it, the scarier it gets—AI might actually end up destroying all of humanity! 1. AI will surpass the combined intelligence of all humans within 5 years In the future, the intelligence gap between AI and humans will far exceed the gap between humans and chimpanzees. Other than being mascots, humans won’t be able to compete with AI in anything. 2. Humanity will completely lose control within 10 years When AI’s intelligence fully crushes humanity, we’ll be no different from monkeys in a zoo! 3. We’re about to enter an era of extreme material abundance As long as there’s no World War III or nuclear war, we’ll step into a dream era where you can have anything you want. 4. The probability of human extinction is as high as 10%-20%! The risk of killer robots wiping out humanity is utterly despairing, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Might as well enjoy the time we have left to the fullest.
