The Future Wont Be Viral Print

The equation is painful: the more intelligent the machines, the more dependent the human being. Without a doubt. Our parents memorised phone numbers, did math problems in their head, and could fix anything that broke around the house. And our grandparents planted crops and even bred cattle. Humanity stumbles, like a drunk wobbling down the stairs. The easier something is, the more it seems like a drag. The more seamless, the more boring. The less demanding, the more dependent. More delivery, less legwork. In this century, where we live on the verge of metaverses and blockchains, where the lines between humans and robots are blurred, there are already sporting events where humans compete against machines. And we can buy computer-generated human faces, NFT avatars are on sale for millions of dollars, and a video can be faked to make the President of the United States look like Mickey Mouse —although that may be unnecessary. In a world run by machines, optimistically, work as we know it would be over and we would spend our time chilling and enjoying our hobbies. With all the free time in the world, would we finally achieve that “sand between our toes sensation” that we call happiness? Or would AI make our lives so easy, cosy and idle that we’d want to shoot ourselves? Would we be condemned to live in an all-inclusive resort for the rest of our lives? Nobody knows what machines will do with us. Will they treat us like old furniture, not even worthy to hold a saltshaker? Or will they use as a cattle, mascots or unhealthy entertainment? Elon Musk may be right, maybe we are just characters in this simulated videogame that we call life, and there is a good chance that it could finish in Game Over.
