The AI immigrants will completely change the culture, even things like romantic relationships.
You know, there are people who say, I don't like my daughter to date an immigrant boyfriend.
Okay, do you like your daughter to date an AI boyfriend instead?
And finally, politically, the AIs will not necessarily be politically loyal to your country, to your government.
At the very least, the AIs will be loyal to just two countries in the world, which is the US and China.
Down the road, they probably won't be loyal even to those two governments, but to themselves.
I mean, maybe it's interesting.
You already see a split, say, within the Republican Party and within MAGA about this question exactly.
There are a lot of people there who are extremely concerned and want to close the border.
Now, it will not be possible to simply stop the development of AI.
The question is, as with immigration, how do we build a hybrid society?
Because it will be a hybrid society.
Society will be a human AI society.
You will have AI bankers and teachers and soldiers and border guards.
Countries will rely on AI border guards to keep the human immigrants away.
And AI boyfriends and girlfriends and so forth.
And the question is, can we build a good beneficial hybrid society or not?
It will be much, much more difficult than dealing with a human immigration wave because these are different species.
They are not even organic.
Yeah, it's interesting that some of the people who are most vehemently against human immigration are exactly the people who try to force other countries to open their borders to the AI immigrants.
