I didnt say extinct
Horses and oxen aren’t extinct. Just nowhere near their peak where they had been before cars and tractors.
They just won’t have as many children. It is already happening.
People need each other less and less thanks to technology. And they won’t be paying each other for anything when they have AI. Soon romantic relationships will be disrupted also, it’s called a “superstimulus” (eg when birds prefer fake rounder eggs to their own). Dating robots. Extrapolate a few decades out and what do you see?
Ah, seems like you walked back a bit on that. In any case, I don't see why you're so concerned about how other people choose to live their lives. For instance, if someone doesn't want kids, so what? You can't control that. Nor should you.
Just to be clear, you are supporting a world where humans are powerless, few in number, and don’t interact much with each other anymore.
As I’ve been saying for a decade, we are building a zoo for ourselves.
I support a world of radical abundance, one where humans and super-smart AIs have the maximum about of freedom (without harming one another, of course).
