April 1. If I understand correctly, the AI issue is about three things: jobs, information quality, and replacing humanity.

I have little pity for jobs. If you can no longer make money doing what you used to do, you do something else. If technical developments change the situation in such a way that large parts of society can no longer earn money, you have to change society. 

The argument that artificial intelligences will flood humanity with vast amounts of false information that no one will be able to verify was also made with the printing press and the internet. It has proven to be pointless. One has always had to learn to distinguish good information from bad information.

And finally: If humanity is replaced by something that it has created itself and that is superior to it, why not? I don’t think that’s a given yet, but if it comes to that, it would be a lot like experiencing that your own children are better at something than you are. It is a humiliation, but it is also wonderful.
