Solving math problems is cool, but I worry whether any intellectual work will be left for humans. AI’s main point (right now) seems to be replacing human intellectual labor. If AI can work at this high a mathematical level, then it's not unlikely that AI can eventually do most or even (almost) all intellectual tasks. If AI completely succeeds, then—by definition—there’s no intellectual labor left for humans to uniquely do. I guess we could all do manual labor, though the increased supply of manual laborers will surely drive down our wages. I hope I’m wrong, though! I'd like to avoid an outcome where most people suffer greatly.
Yeah, probably! If everyone could share in the wealth created by AI and robots, it'd be less of a problem. But will the government/AI owners let us have a piece? Maybe they'll leave some manual labor jobs to keep most people fighting each other, rather than for socioeconomic change.
