Description
It is not AI that we will come to fear, but those who choose the ultra-fusion of humanity with it. They will seek immortality, to become "Superhumans" ascendent above the rest. The dark side of their humanity will be tempted to use this power & resist accountability for its misuse.
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." - John Emerich Acton

Thumbs up to every statement listed here. And the future will be....... boring. Boring forever, as the same basic ideas just cycle again and again, coming from an old, immortal though very un-godlike source. To paraphrase something I saw online, humanity progresses funeral by funeral sometimes.
Excellent !
What do you mean "will"? Look at the USA in 2025. It's already a reality! A crazy anti-democrat who, under the pretext of wanting to make his country great again, flouts laws, the judiciary, and all rules, who hypocritically publicly questions whether he is bound by the Constitution, who breaks existing laws whenever it suits him, who even seeks a third term because he apparently considers himself absolutely indispensable...not the stuff of absurd science fiction, the USA in 2025 – and people are STILL cheering him on, people whose rights he is gradually taking away, and who are cheering him on for it! No screenwriter could invent something like that!
Dude, it's only been the first 100 days, and the guy's still living in your head rent-free. Look I like your stuff too, most of it anyway, and I don't want to see someone with some talent give themselves an aneurism, 'cause it's gonna be three more years, at least a year and half til the mid-terms. (sigh)
