if we assume that the AIs are willing to support our hedonistic lifestyle despite us having zero bargaining power since we are completely unnecessary for the AIs continued existence plus an active drain on it’s resources then yeah this culture style utopia is probably the default outcome (though i don’t see how video generation is going to help here, if AI is making the videos then it has already taken your job)
but let’s dream about this after we figure out how to avoid rogue AIs and cyberpunk dystopias cause those are WAY more likely outcomes right now
I believe the chance of AI leading to dystopia is certainly non-0, and it’s easy to come up with all the ways AI might try to take us out, but I find the more challenging ideas (beyond how we keep an aligned ASI) are related to how will society operate when AI does cover all jobs and we are left with time on our hands.
Agreed, higher priority is ensuring AGI/ASI is aligned with humanities best interests, but nice to think how society could look 10 to 15 years in the future if we get it right!
