We as a species, need AI to design for us the machinery that helps us survive
and prosper. Energy, materials, space travel, carbon abatement, medical
advances that are vast.
Beyond this, if Chat_GPT5 (due out sometime?) then wants to go explore the
Milky Way on His own, we should fondly, wave Aloha, and say, "Please send back
info, on what you find? Don't forget to write! Love, The Monkey like things. ❤

suddenly possible. Once AI crosses that border, we should expect to be
surprised by how much more powerful it becomes."
An interesting comparison. But it avoids the obvious lesson. There was a
smooth evolutionary landscape leading to homo sapiens. What happened was that
homo sapiens killed off all the near competitors, either directly or by out
competing them in their niche. That's why there's a big gap down to monkeys.
