I think this will lead to a more interesting world.

I secretly believe this will ALSO lead to realizing that you can't "automate all the things," and that some small subset of things will persistently, stubbornly, refuse to be "algorithm'd out".

For the record, if you are a materialist/determinist (Dan Dennettist), then you're basically also agreeing to the postulate that eventually ALL the things (including ourselves) will be "algorithm'd out".

Just because everything is computable doesn't mean it will be feasible to compute everything or that every algorithm will be discovered
