AI is giving me existential dread

I’ve been following AI since the turn of the century, because I always thought the idea of human intelligence was “figuring out how to make intelligence smarter than us that can help us / do all our work for us”. And now we’re actually getting there, and it’s honestly giving me a “life’s not worth it” feeling. <br><br><br>AI will soon be able to do everything we can do. Just imagine what it’ll be like when cars drive themselves and medical diagnosis is way more accurate than human doctors and science is automatically figured out by machines, etc. <br><br><br>How does one find purpose in life when they can be replaced by a machine that does everything better than them? It’s being talked about as such a great thing by most. I feel like AI is a ticking time bomb that the world isn’t ready to deal with. I have no idea how to make us all happy. Everything will be better, but where do we fit in? What’s the point of us anymore?
