The possibility of a generalized artificial intelligence becoming so dominant that it marginalizes humanity is a significant concern, echoed by notable figures like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. The threat lies in creating successors smarter than humans, potentially leading to job displacement within 10 years for repetitive tasks and eventually impacting creative roles. Speculations range from machines taking over or turning humans into pets. Contemplation arises on what information to share with advanced artificial intelligence, with debates on whether to reveal only positive aspects or to conceal negative aspects like war and cruelty. The historical analogy with the Romans highlights the longstanding dilemma of disclosing less favorable aspects of humanity when interacting with external entities.
