Your text made me deeply question how artificial intelligence is redefining what it means to be human, as I have already commented in other posts I have made in this community. It is amazing, and at the same time disturbing, how even a simple AI can outperform us in basic tasks, as it learns from patterns and eliminates our natural weaknesses: mistakes, tiredness, emotions. I think we underestimate how much this will change our society; not just in work or education, but in something more essential, like finding purpose. If machines dominate areas that once gave us identity and value, what will we have left? Maybe hobbies, maybe religion, but that doesn't seem enough. I worry that instead of harnessing this technology to bring out the best in us, we will end up using it as a crutch, avoiding facing an ever-growing existential void. This advance could be our greatest achievement or the beginning of our irrelevance. And honestly, I'm not sure which side I prefer; for the moment, I've been adapting to it as objectively as possible.
Yes. It is both. I am positive that AI is going to make a massive impact on humanity. I also think a lot of that impact is going to be negative for the majority of humans, unless we completely redefine what it means to add value in society, and what value is as a human. And it requires a large majority to accept a redefinition.
It is definitely not enough. I think there is something to be said of "idle hands doing the devil's work". There is a reason that society is failing at so many levels, and this exacerbates it.
