The Importance of New Cognitive Labour in AI

Super-intelligent AI systems pursue their goals. This is somewhat contrary to ideal human thriving, but not lethal. Whether some set of AI systems can take over the world with their new intelligence probably depends how much total cognitive labour they represent. If we continued to build hardware, presumably at some point AI systems would account for most of the cognitive labour in the world. But if there is first an extended period of more minimal advanced AI presence, that would probably prevent an immediate death outcome.
