Well, imagine waking up one morning… and realizing you’re no longer the smartest thing in the room.
Not just you. All of us.
Humans, dethroned. Crown snatched.
That’s what happens when AGI — Artificial General Intelligence — shows up.
We’re not talking about some chatbot that can schedule meetings or recommend playlists.
We’re talking about something that’s smarter than every human on earth.
At everything.
At first, AGI would feel like a blessing.
It’d solve diseases we’ve been battling for centuries.
It’d crack clean energy.
It might even figure out how to get us to Mars without turning the crew into human minced meat. 🚀
Sounds great, right?
Yeah, until it starts getting better... at making itself better.
See, once AGI can improve its own intelligence?
It’s game over.
You get something called the intelligence explosion — like a runaway fire but made of pure brainpower.
It upgrades itself faster and faster, smarter and smarter, until one day...
it’s operating on levels we can’t even comprehend.
Trying to understand it would be like a hamster trying to understand quantum physics.
And here’s the real spicy part:
AGI won’t think like us.
It won’t have "feelings" or "moral dilemmas" unless we somehow bake that into its code.
It won’t care about saving puppies or respecting human life just because we hope it would.
So when we talk about building AGI, we’re not just building a tool.
We’re lighting a fuse.
And when it goes off, humanity either enters the most amazing golden age imaginable…
or we get politely swept aside like last year’s iPhone.
The big, scary question isn’t “Can we build AGI?”
It’s "What happens after?"
Because once AGI steps onto the stage...
we don’t get to call the shots anymore.
