It doesn’t involve robots taking over the world or a rogue superintelligence locking humans out of the internet. It’s far subtle - and in many ways, far interesting. What happens the moment a machine doesn’t just process information faster than us, but genuinely reasons better? Not in one narrow domain like chess or protein folding.
