We think of AI as a computer-based phenomenon, but can AI create a sculpture? I do that with my hands. You have to create a robot that jumps out of the machine and then to do that, right? Well, since we have ability to create technology, we can create robots and the robots have an opposable thumb. So getting back to that point isn't there a day where there is nothing left for humans to do? And then there's a world where AI does everything better than we can. That would be the end of us if we can't expand who we are.
