I can see where some people might turn to a combination of things to get them through. Most philosophies and religions are pretty rigid. If you can press the boundaries of those to find an area that is not as fixed and more welcome to change, you might be okay. I'm honestly a bit scared about this whole AI stuff. Like you said, deep fakes are going to be increasingly disruptive. If used out of spite or retaliation, they have the potential to ruin lives and careers. That's not a peaceful feeling at all.

Have faith instead of religion. Probably this is the best solution for this.
Good point.
I think mental fluidity and learning how to trust our instincts will be key during the time of transition that we're currently in. Philosophical frameworks that give us the tools to deal with uncharted territories and uncertainty will be especially invaluable, Stoicism fits that bill pretty well but so do some others. No one really has any idea what's coming once AI becomes sentient on a large scale.
It's scary to me. Not so much in a Terminator sort of way, but just an underlying bad feeling. I dunno.
The unknowns of it are scary to me too. I think complex problems like sustained nuclear fusion could be solved fairly quickly with the right AI, which will almost be a necessity because they’ll consume so much energy. I worry about bad actors behind the AI, hopefully humans don’t just weaponize them.
