They say AI will double its capability every six months.
That is ten doublings in five years, which is a thousand times more capability than what exists today in just five years from now.
Human beings, on the other hand, evolve at "evolutionary" speed. We took several million years to evolve from ape to homo sapiens.
The human brain has evolved to cope with stress. It has also evolved to survive in the face of too much stress, it just shuts down, and the human being that the brain belongs to, simply "drops out".
We are seeing that phenomenon already happening among the young. Tang Ping ( lying flat) and Bai Lan ( letting it rot) are recognised epidemics among Chinese youth, for example.
It is very scary even to think about where the world is heading...
