Considering the field and progress that is being made I find this idea terrifying. All the big problems like "How will we actually control what we're building?" being answered "that's too hard; let's punt and solve that after we figure out how to consume voice data". One way or another this is likely the last technological advance that humans will make.

The last technological advance that humans will make? What gives you that impression

_if_ it is better at making advances then us then everything in human nature points to us letting it make all future advances.

Im not sure. I suspect it might be better at some advances but not necessarily better at everything.

As long as it's better at some of the advances that would make it even better at those advances, or better at more advances, then it'll quickly become better than us in approximately everything, and at that point humans become NPCs of their own story.

Is that how apes feel? You think apes look at us and feel like NPCs?

My perception is apes still feel like the main character, each and every one of them.

I don't know if @skeeter2020's assertion is correct, but it is certainly the goal.

To use a fictional but entirely apt quote:

> I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you, it really became our civilization, which is, of course, what this is all about: Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time.

This question is poorly formed because it’s not clear who the “we” is. If it’s you and me, that train left the station a while ago. If it’s any humans, well Sam Altman is probably a human and all of these are impressive products, but still just tools.
