Former OpenAI Researcher: AI Will Eventually Surpass Humans in All Aspects, and in the Future, Only 'Made by Humans' Itself Will Have Value

BlockBeats news, September 24: Former OpenAI researcher Will Depue published a long article stating that humanity will soon usher in machines that surpass humans in almost all intellectual and physical abilities, and believes that most people have not truly accepted this trend.

Depue stated that human abilities such as entrepreneurship and taste do not have "special and safe" moats, and professions such as investors, entrepreneurs, consultants, content creators, and musicians may all undergo changes similar to those experienced by software engineers and mathematicians. He believes that AI will ultimately reach or even exceed the limits of human capability in fields such as literature, poetry, music, and visual arts.

Even if AI lacks human emotions and love, it may still surpass humans in making other people "feel loved"; the only work that may resist automation in the future could be handicrafts that have value simply because they are "created by humans."

Depue emphasized that this is not pessimism. He believes that humans can still preserve community, art, and relationships between people and derive value from them, but humanity should seriously face a future in which its abilities are surpassed by machines, "do not cling to your abilities, they will soon disappear."

As for when this future will arrive, he said it may take 5 years, or it may take 50 years, but humanity is approaching non-human intelligence capable of understanding and expressing the "human condition" in ways humans cannot comprehend.
