Well, I appreciate your counterpoint but dont know why you bother to take it back. First, you counterpoint on mass adoption is valid, I myself am from a poor country in south asia and most of my friends think of ai as ‘entertaining chatbot’ nothing else. Even though technology advanced radically, most people do not access. Many don’t have smart phone or device, most don’t have sufficient knowledge. What’s going on in the world doesn’t matter to them. But you have to see how much things are changing rapidly. Who could have thought half a century ago that most people in future will use wallet size computer within their pocket which is far more powerful than the computer nasa used to send people on moon. How future might turn out simply beyond us. We can’t predict if adoption will be slower or faster. Most people in my country is addicted to facebook (even my parents ); just 10 years ago it was completely unthinkable for me; mobile was luxury, my parents only had buttons phones to use. Things changed rapidly before my eyes.
your second point is absolutely valid. Our planning quality will improve drastically. But I’m afraid it still wont be able to predict exponentially changing future. There’s tons of wall street quants trying to beat the market with there math more complex than quantum physics. but, end of the day, their return is slightly better than the market average.
Well, as human being it’s our desire to predict the future. We afraid uncertainty more than anything. today, we can predict the lifetime of a star millions of lightyear far from us, but can’t predict our own future back in earth. And that is something that we dont like. We will try to predict future and keep doing this even if it just serve our own curiosity. I think we should keep going no matter how many times we fail.
