Basically, technological singularity. A point in mathematical projection which no human can compute and everything can happen. The strong IA can be friendly or hostile, there's no certainty.

No more jobs

because mass hysteria and monkeys jumping at shadows.

better to be slightly on edge because that shadow might be a leopard than relaxed when that shadow is a leopard.

also: the devil makes work for idle hands.

Oops. I was going to post this on /g/.

because when people don't know about something it's basically magic to them and they'll believe basically anything about it.

I'm looking at you Elon.

because once we create something smarter than us it can in turn create something smarter than itself. and from there its not hard to imagine a group of super intelligent ai several generations later deciding humans are stupid, ignorant, obstructionist, hateful and just generally annoying.
