Elon Musk: If Robots Outperform Us, Will Our Lives Still Have Meaning?

Elon Musk: Will our lives still have meaning if computers and robots outperform us?

“At some point, as AI and robotics get better, eventually AI will be able to do everything that humans can do. Any task you do will be optional, like a hobby.

It does beg the question, will our lives have meaning if the computers and the robots can do everything better than we can? That is a real question. I do wonder about that myself.

That's maybe why we need the Neuralink, so we can enhance human capability, so we can keep up with the machines.”
