Past simple

Now, we live in a world controlled by artificial intelligence.

in fact, if it wants to, it can control us.

With a superintelligence being created, there's no telling what it would do.

One thing we do know is this AI would be far smarter than any human being.

It would quickly create new technologies that humans today could never even dream of.

The very first digital computer was invented in 1937

computers and AI have given us a lot of good.

it also allowed us to explore the galaxy,

Human intelligence led to the birth of technology.

But as we continue to improve artificial intelligence,

AI may become smart enough to start running itself.

that it won't need humans to operate it anymore,

As the AI is free to do whatever it pleases,

becoming more advanced with every passing second.

This is known as a technological singularity.

This technological singularity may allow AI to do almost anything, even physically.

Such as robots taking over our manufacturing machines.

When that happens, they can create their own machines.

humans will most likely have created an AI that can make its own physical objects.

it can pretty much only mean bad things for us humans.

And unfortunately, this is more of a WHEN IF rather than a WHAT IF.

Since the 1980s, thought leaders in AI and technology

have been predicting that it could happen.

Some think it could even happen by the middle of this century.

what would it mean for us as human beings?

Well, that would really be up to our AI overlords.

In this world, humans would essentially be useless bags of meat taking up space.

Insulting, I know, but if AI took control of everything,

Anything that the AI wanted to do or accomplish

would be slower and less efficient if done by humans.

But if the AI were to somehow allow us to live among them,

Well, let's hope they wouldn't pave over our crops to build more robot factories.

they most likely wouldn't care about our feeble human needs.

"And what do humans do with these things?"

"Oh man, wh-what didn't they do, they bounced them."

Unless they allowed us to continue to manufacture and grow our own food,

The only reason AI would keep us humans alive,

is if they somehow liked us enough to keep us as

We could spend time with them, keep them company,

Hanging out at home all day, being well fed,

That would probably be the best bet for humanity,

because there's virtually no chance of us overruling a superintelligence in our current state.

One way we could actually compete with this AI

is if we fused our bodies with technology and became cyborgs.

Allowing the human race a different kind of evolution,

one that includes artificial intelligence.

That sounds like another story for WHAT IF.
