What does life after AI look like? Cory Doctorow’s guide is an outdated map, lacking answers

Cory Doctorow's latest book, "The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI: How to Think About Artificial Intelligence Before It's Too Late," warns that AI will make workers obsolete and proposes a bleak future where humans are mere cogs in the machine of AI. The author argues that AI companies prioritize profit over human well-being and that the technology could lead to a dystopian world where algorithms dictate the lives of those who work for them.

Doctorow's concerns include the potential for AI to make workers obsolete, the rise of the reverse centaur, and the dangers of handing more decision-making power to machines. Despite some flaws in his predictions, Doctorow's message highlights the need for public action to prevent catastrophic outcomes from AI.
