Unless you strongly identify as part of “humanity” in he same way that someone from a given city cheers for their home team to win at sports, most people are doing the day to day work necessary to keep the lights on, not solving deeply important problems.
If ASI solved all the problems quickly (and doesn’t turn us into paperclips). They lose the “we’re keeping the lights on” feeling of accomplishment but realistically most people were never going to steer the ship, cure cancer, usher in an age of post scarcity etc.
They might indirectly help by say installing the flooring at the lab where one of those people works but then again, there are also humans who work at TSMC or who build datacenters. Same thing applies. They’re contributing at least up until the ASI automates the economy and moves well beyond the initial human built seed capital.
We’re already there for 90% of people.
