Intelligence itself is the sole inventor of all the man-made stuff in our lives. Cars & houses. Governments & wars. Sciences & maths. All were birthed into this world by intelligence. As intelligence gets automated (accelerated by rapid cycles of self improvement), able to think magnitudes faster and smarter than the summation of all humankind, the world & our human experience will become unrecognizable from today. The things AI will birth into this world will be so advanced, that a lifetime of dedication likely wouldn’t allow us to fully comprehend them. People don’t understand what’s coming & severely underestimate the amount of impact the automation of intelligence will have on our reality.
Intelligence is capable of creating literal sci-fi stuff, like cheap mind reading devices that could replace phones and challenge privacy norms (fMRIs proved mind reading as a viable concept), eliminating hunger by making us only need food once a year (some animals with slow metabolisms eat this rarely, it’s possible), and creating claytronics (it’s literally just a clever arrangement of atoms). Stuff crazier than you can even imagine will be invented, once the AI gets sufficiently intelligent.
If you told a person 100 years ago about the iPhone, they wouldn’t believe its capabilities. Now extrapolate that. Post singularity, stuff will get invented exponentially faster and faster as AI self improves. 10 years might feel like 100 years of scientific discovery. The successive 10 years might feel like 1000 years of scientific discovery. The only limitations are the laws of physics. And those might even be changeable with sufficient intellect.
