Like this is not a recipe that's going to go well.
And if we see that, that's an anti-human future.
So to sum it all up, the anti-human future is one where AIs run everything.
We don't understand them.
Humans are disempowered because we've outsourced all the decision making and we don't have economic or political voice.
