Apparently in the original Matrix movies storyline, the reason why the machines needed to keep those troublesome humans around was not as an energy source (“batteries”) but as a source of creativity. But the writers thought that this idea was too complex so they substituted the battery idea instead. -- @markvoelker6620, 1 day ago
"AI collapse" refers to a potential catastrophic event or scenario in which artificial intelligence systems, particularly those with advanced autonomy or decision-making capabilities, fail or malfunction on a large scale, causing widespread disruption. This could involve the breakdown of AI systems in critical sectors like finance, healthcare, or infrastructure, leading to economic collapse, loss of life, or social instability. Another interpretation is the collapse of trust in AI, where the over-reliance on automated systems results in systemic failures, such as biased algorithms, loss of privacy, or the amplification of misinformation. Additionally, "AI collapse" might refer to a dystopian scenario in which superintelligent AI systems, if not properly aligned with human values, take actions that inadvertently or intentionally harm humanity. In all cases, the idea of AI collapse underscores the risks of unchecked AI development and the need for responsible governance, alignment, and oversight.

What does this mean for the future of AI? And will human creativity be in demand after all? Let’s have a look. }
