That is one of the possible outcomes. The Terminator scenario. It might have some possibility of being a real doom creator. Maybe. The problem seems to be that the CLAIMED improvements as you've listed them lead to a bunch of people not doing anything or being paid for anything. No economy. SOME people have to keep power up to run AI centers....and they solve problems...for who? Starving masses don't give a shit about someone solving problems for rich folks if they are starving.
Quote from: REIn light of this inexorable move, in the event the civilization manages to progress into the techno-futurist world, society will need to devise another means of distributing the wealth than paying for labor, be it physical or intellectual.Obviously. Or not, because it becomes a chicken versus the egg problem. If the people don't have the chance to migrate before dying off when AI decides it doesn't need them anymore, then they burn down the AI data centers, and the only paid people earning a living are the security guards.
And AI needs to then figure out how to grow food for its underling bipeds.
