All right, Adam.

I feel like it armed me with amazing information on both sides, the doomerism and the optimism.

But it also showed me that all these data scientists are just obsessed with intelligence as data.

And it kind of proved out to me what makes us special as humans, because they didn't talk anything about consciousness or embodied experience.

So I left feeling really excited about the future and what's possible, but also like so happy for how we're differentiated.

And I do feel less scared.

You do feel less scared.

Yeah, it'll be big, and it'll be gigantic.

They all said that, but I'm excited.

Okay, so the creator and co-director of the AI doc is Academy Award winner Daniel Rohr, and he appears as the interviewer in this film, and here's some of that.

Take a look.

What is artificial intelligence?

I know that must be annoying for you, that question, but I do think it's important.

Yeah.

That's a good question.

What is AI?

And no matter how many times people try and explain this to me, I just don't get how it's understanding all of these things and how it's feeling like intelligence.

And that's kind of nerve-wracking.

And when they're smarter than us, too, and substantially faster than us, and they're getting faster each year exponentially, those are the ones that can potentially become superhuman, possibly this decade.

Superintelligence is a system that by itself is more intelligent and competent than all of humanity.
