    I also have near zero concerns about that, but I worry that we will wipe ourselves out by social and economic chaos caused by AI.

    So I'd just ask everyone, don't get too greedy. Its better to be powerful in a world where people can live good lives than lord over a barren wasteland.

      Since people exercise their skills and brains less, deferring to AI, AI will only reduce our IQ.

      Since people will spend more time talking to their AI bot than fostering social skills, AI will only reduce our social intelligence.

      A dumber, less social world, is far less likely to be a successful world, even if the tools available are unprecedented.
