Very interesting. Thank you. The main idea this evokes me is that without education people will easily empathize with and be manipulable by AIs. So much so that large groups could act politically on that basis. Like asking rights for AIs etc. It is really important to develop social sciences—if only their pedagogy—to deal with such large social and philosophical shock. Western societies, “progressivist” societies, will be particularly vulnerable, as we have already seen with the major cultural struggles in the past couple of centuries, and many ideological slidings in the past 60 years.
