A Reddit user expresses feelings of being lost due to the rapid advancement of AI, particularly the impending arrival of AGI, while society remains largely unaware and unprepared. Despite being pro-AI, the user is concerned about the implications for the future, including the blurring of reality with AI-generated images and the potential for a more complicated society. The user feels isolated in these concerns, as family and friends dismiss their worries as "crazy and delusional."
One of the saddest things is that AGI is about to arrive yet society and people have no idea about it, nor do they know how to prepare for that. Seeing my family members enjoying their lives, talking about the future... It made me think of the meaning of life to some extent. No one around me knows or cares about AI. I have no one to express my ideas to. They won't believe me as well and saying I am too crazy and delusional that I should focus on my studies...
Before you call me delusional and crazy, I have seen too much research and articles and I am fairly on the Pro-AI side, but im just sometimes a conservative on the advancement of tech. I want to sustain my current life, maintain a relatively simple and less complicated society.... With the advancement of AI images, nothing will be real. The natural instinct that what you see is real is becoming a history. If you are actively following AI in general, you know what I am talking about. The future society is uncertain and no one knows what it will be.
I should focus on the present, but whenever I have free time, I couldn't get over this feeling. I am writing this because this has been on my mind for too long and it would make me feel better if I see other people feeling the same way.
My English teacher once said in order for society to evolve, one thing is necessary: Predictability.
The ability to predict the future accurately makes people know what to do, and I'm afraid the upcoming world does not give us that.
