If AI takes care of all the jobs in the world, what will happen?
That day is not far when we will have created an entire artificially intelligent community altogether. We, humans, would have no work at all but if we had all the wealth – time, money and health, wouldn’t that be a dream come true. After all, we all have this as our ultimate goal in life. There will be enough time and money to fulfil your wishes, the sense of power and ultimate achievement will be a marvellous feeling. But for how long?
The purpose of man is to reach the ultimate target and their entire lives become a process of striving for the same. But what would one do after achieving the ultimate. What will be the purpose of life then? Indulgence will follow, man is a pleasure seeking being; a hedonist. Pleasure is addictive and humans will fall into this degrading spiral. It will suck everything and create voids. Suddenly everything will become too certain. The beauty of imperfections and uncertainties will dissolve. It will be a highly ordered and as they say a ‘masculine’ society, governed by rules and regulations, strict law and order. The ‘feminine’ aspects like creativity and intuition will begin to evaporate. It will be too mechanised a world. The balance between ‘purusha’ and ‘prakriti’ will be lost.
Also isn’t it ironic that the trigger of this cycle was a desire for pleasure and happiness and how actually its pursuit made it far more distant.
