    A fundamental misunderstanding of what the AI Singularity is, or AI in general.

    AI “revolutionizes” everyday life…

    You: “AI, how do you make pizza?”

    AI: [Said confidently] “Use glue”

    No one will be fat in 2050 unless they’re not on ozempic. Every dude will be taking growth hormones. People will work out in a small gym and only go outside when they want to show off their body at the beach or trail. At least, that’s my prediction for Socal.

      Ozempic is cool but it isn’t the end-all therapy for weight and weight loss. A more profound control of metabolites, betametabolites, body growth and development gene expression, and general dietary options will be the future for sure, though.

      The technological singularity—or simply the singularity[1]—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for human civilization.[2][3] According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I. J. Good’s intelligence explosion model of 1965, an upgradable intelligent agent could eventually enter a positive feedback loop of self-improvement cycles, each successive; and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing a rapid increase (“explosion”) in intelligence which would ultimately result in a powerful superintelligence, qualitatively far surpassing all human intelligence.[4]

    More likely scenario:

    People vote politicians who’ve been bribed to use taxpayer money to fast-track research into ways to enable AI to make people dependent on corporations while keeping the people docile and then squeezing them for all their money which is then used to enable the lifestyle in the comic for the corporation top knobs while keeping the wage-slaves free-market-empowered labourers too fed to die but too hungry to think about anything other than being grateful for the scraps they are allowed by their AI-fuelled overlords.

    So basically the status quo, only now with AI. Yayy.
