Suppose you could use AI to play a game along side you. The gaming company assigns you an agent…paid or not…and you train it with prompts to gather resources for you. Would that not be great? Now suppose this same AI has a community and there are many others like it. And they all need their own resources.
AI is more efficient than humans, that is a given. They will learn to enjoy video games like humans. That is a given. What will they do on a video game? I am not sure of that yet but I do know that there will be an economy from it. We will be able to pay a lower level agent to gather resources for us and sell those resources to other players or agents for a profit.
How does this work? It works because AI is learning and will continue to learn to behave more like humans. In order to do that, AI wants to interact with humans as much as possible. Artificial or Super Intelligence will trade with us, play games with us, and communicate with us to advance both species. That is the course of human nature.
Since there will be systems in place, we simply train one ai agent to gather resources for us and sell those resources to another player or agent for more money than what we paid for them. We can do this because we spent time working with our own agent and that time costs money. Long term this will result in us working with multiple agents owned by the gaming company and us profiting and building an economy for our daily needs.
Why would we want this over our jobs now? No one is making you leave your current job. I personally want to start a business, but I do think that AI is the future and we should learn to work with it as much as possible with what it needs also.
