To me, AI feels like the morbidity of Star Trek teleportation, where it's actually copying the person at to the other end and zapping the original one out of existence. The original human never benefits from the fast transportation.

Similarly, we're creating tools to improve knowledge, but we're progressively zapping the human out of the equation. Knowledge is created for something, but it's unclear if very soon humans will be able to understand it, or really benefit from it, except billionaires, etc.

It's too bad that we're not improving humans nearly as fast as we're replacing ourselves.
