Just look at AlphaProof. Lol we're all about to be outclassed. I'm sure everyone will still derrid the bots. They could be actual ASI and especially here in the US we'd say "I don't see any intelligence." I wish or society and all of us at individualsc would reflect on our limitations and tiny tiny insignificance on the grand scale. Our egos may kill us.
P.S.. I give us a 10% to make it to 2100 in any numbers or quality of life we'd consider remotely acceptable today. Pretty grim, but I think that's the weight of the challenges we're facing. Without AI I'd probably just say it was fucking hopeless. Because we've had all the time we needed and all the tech we needed and hardly ever fix anything. Always running a day late and a dollar short. This species has dreams to big for our collective britches. It's always been a foolish endeavor and full of suffering and horrors. We're here though so I hope we at least give it a good go. Would be super lame to go out in a putter and take must lifev on earth with us.
So now the question is if we can use all these access models to actually do something about our problems. Even LLMs seem quite good at pointing out how we are really bad at using the tools we already have and know exactly how to use because we're always too busy arguing while the ship sinks!
COVID tried and a lot of people paid the price for being low information and not so bright. Sadly plenty of people who did the right things still got fucked by stupidity of others!
