AI Overlords

“Instead of machines trying to convince humans that they are people, machines now hope to convince humans that they are really computers. CAPTCHAs [...] are reverse Turing tests in which the computer judges whether a user is a human.” https://t.co/wCK5pEuZod

The better AI gets at doing our work for us, the more we outsource our thinking to it. Thus, as we make machines more humanlike, they make us more machinelike. Perhaps we should be less worried about AI becoming conscious, than about humanity becoming unconscious.
