I guess we need to switch from a ‘slave’ to a ‘nobility’ mindset. AI is a better slave than you can ever be so it leaves you no choice but to be a master.

If you can’t be a small cog in the machine, become its desire engine, the will that sets it in motion.

You may take over the AI that has taken over your job, and see what new, grander goals you can achieve with it.

Computers used to be human, it was a job. Rooms full of people computing with pen and paper. Artificial computers took it over. Yet we’re not regretting that, I bet most don’t even know the fact. You’re not trying to keep up with your Artificial Personal Computer, rather it’s a symbiotic relationship, arguably it’s a mental prosthetic, an exoself, and you’re already a cyborg.

Humanity can’t be rendered useless because it never was useful in the first place. Fulfilment of purpose is pleasure, and purpose is arbitrary.

Make the world a better place? Humanity is destroying this world’s biodiversity, so arguably, destroying humanity would make the world a better place (I’m talking like a rogue AI lol, just trying to show the relativity of such purpose).

A more constructive goal would be to colonise space so as to spread life, reduce the load on our little planet, preserve life in case of a cataclysm. I think it would be awesome! But even that is arbitrary. ‘Life’ didn’t ask for it and can’t be thankful.
