Humans are not going away. There's a long pattern of business efficiencies taking the drudgery, the bad jobs, the unpleasant jobs, the dangerous jobs, and eliminating and allow humans to do what we prefer to do, which is be creative and use our human judgment. It will take a long time for those human functions to go away, if ever. The important thing about what's happening is that if business efficiency that you're seeing from AI is replacing low-level, tedious jobs, you have an issue that those people will need a new place to work because human dignity involves working. Do you think we'll need to make strides in neurology to ever get to that point for machines, or do you think just raw size of the data that a machine assimilates will eventually result in sentience? Because we are nowhere near understanding how you see green or feel love or the spirit of humans. We have no idea how that happens neuronally. We can build computers that can appear to have consciousness, but they don't really have it. Do we need to understand the brain before we get to that point? We will. I don't know if we ever will. We certainly are not going to do it in our lifetime.
