I predict an age of abundance where dark factories powered by the near infinite energy produced by artificial sun generators and advanced geothermal plants will manufacture everything and anything. This will leave people with lots of free time and they will gravitate towards social media and their own individual siloed realities; this is where the arms race for the best prompt engineers will begin. I don't believe that AI will ever reach the stage of AGI or ASI; as I explain in my thesis the human brain will take the place of AGI and humanity itself will augment AI and the two will become so intertwined that they will be inseparable. Humans will live through their avatars in the digital space as the world around them slowly decays, interpersonal relationships will erode, birthrates will plummet, and our species will simply die out because not enough people are having sex.
This technology will be so cheap and available, internet access so ubiquitous, limitless clean water and energy, even in the most remote villages in Africa will there be those who are born, live out their lives through a screen, and then die.
