People also don't realize how incredibly stupid humans can be. I don't mean that in a judgemental or moral kind of way, I mean that the educational system has failed a lot of people.

There's some % of people that could use AI for every decision in their lives and the outcome would be the same or better.

That's even more terrifying IMO.

I was convinced about 20 years ago that at least 30% of humanity would struggle to pass a basic sentience test.

And it gets worse as they get older.

I have friends and relatives that used to be people. They used to have thoughts and feelings. They had convictions and reasons for those convictions.

Now, I have conversations with some of these people I've known for 20 and 30 years and they seem exasperated at the idea of even trying to think about something.

It's not just complex topics, either. You can ask him what they saw on a recent trip, what they are reading, or how they feel about some show and they look at you like the hospital intake lady from Idiocracy.

No, no- not being judgemental and moral is how we got to this point in the first place. Telling someone who is doing something foolish, when they are acting foolishly used to be pretty normal. But after a couple decades of internet white-knighting, correcting or even voicing opposition to obvious stupidity is just too exhausting.

Dunning-Kruger is winning.
