Essay argues post-AI 'infinite leisure' future will erode human social bonds
A blog post challenges the common assumption that a post-scarcity, superintelligent-AI future means humans will simply 'hang out' in leisure, as depicted in sci-fi like the Culture novels. The author argues the social structures that normally bring people together—work, education, communities of practice like open-source coding—will be dissolved by AI making human collaboration unnecessary, and that AI-generated content offers an ever-improving alternative to real companionship.
