So… had a moment of nightmare today. What happens when computers gets better at being us than us?

I understand that the advertised research results have been that AIs using deep learning have gained performance above those of humans. But here, in my head, I saw for a moment that a computer hooked up to my eyes seeing and performing tasks better than me.

What happens when that happens? What happens when our processing power is out done by a computer on our own turf? On the one hand, it might enable us to replace some of our human activities with machines. The biggest thing here being for example a machine that exercises our muscles optimally yo achieve a desired result. And similarly one might imagine a day inside the matrix when we can plug into our head and we can play the horn really well(without own lips and lungs). (This particular application may require several steps: computerized training of our muscles, some amount of fine tuning for those muscles and the instrument, maybe some fine tuning for reading music through our eyes, fine tuning for playing with other players, with a director, solo’ing, improvisation…)

What about caring for kids? Is there a brain app for that ? What about taking a dump, I’ll bet good money that an app can make that so much better an experience, using just our existing hardware. Maybe there will be several modes… for coitus, set “ludicrous” mode to optimize partner experience, but tune down to “comfort” mode for self gratification. Ooohooohhh, dating app, the flirt app, in-law app, SAT studying app, “learn to print your ABC’s” app,

Wow! Either I suck at life, or I really understand the future of technology.

Either way, a nightmare for you or your sidekick brain to mnmnnnmhmnmm over.
