The future is a concept in our minds. No one knows for certain how it will shape up.
But current behaviour and trends if continued offer some understanding (not certainty) on how it could play out.
It’s my belief that most people don’t spend much time worrying about these concerns. And why not? It’s more comfortable to continue to believe tomorrow will be the same as today.

Humanity can use brains to develop foolproof kill switches. Should be a challenging enough task to prevent mental atrophy.
one would think so, but it seems evident that “humanity” doesn’t even learn from the worst mistakes of the past (after a couple of traumatised generations)
The decline has started much earlier with the advent of automation. Ford's assembly line operation was one of the early examples. It is only getting worse, much faster with each development in automation and autonomous technologies. Automation kills skill; period.
Just to give an example: During my college days, we used to have occasional drag races. The winner is the one who brakes last; the one who has mmastered the art of late braking. ABS technology has killed it.

We were already dependent on Google and keyboard autocorrections. Now, ChatGPT has superseded them and taken control over us. FYI this sentence was corrected by chatGPT 
Kind of supports the surmise…?

For this Gen definitely.
Autocorrect is an early avatar of AI

No AI can beat natural stupidity.
So, AI can make us Morons.
But AI needs morons to do this

RFK Jr. Says AI Will Approve New Drugs at FDA 'Very, Very Quickly'
"We need to stop trusting the experts," Kennedy told Tucker Carlson.

It’s just “don’t trust educated experts” who are perceived as “elites”
Many experts are now running with the hares and hunting with the wolves
Google, WhatsApp, facebook and almost every other social media and even commercial transaction platforms (UPI) are “free”
We are the users, consumers
We are also the commodity
Our data collected during usage is the price we pay.
All this data is part of the LLM and “AI” tools we use (and generate more data)
It’s gradual, insidious and relentless, like a chronic health condition.

Prophesies of doom have been ever present in all cultures and every generation feels everything after them seems like a despair but humanity has only improved so i'd say the trend is positive and no reason for it not to be so.
I take a very positive view of all of this of more affordable health/security etc for the majority of the underprivileged either by society or financially who will gain more knowledge and perhaps improve. and we will find ways to reign in AI as well
As a devils advocate, If all this is at the expense of the personal data of the 10% privileged ( ie those earning over 5L a year) , its worth it

But humans have a seemingly endless capacity to put up with inconveniences, unjust business practices and such, specially when they are made to feel powerless….rationalisation and some vague hope for change in the future are safer alternatives than questioning the powerful nexus between big business and political allies.

Sam Altman, CEO of open AI is optimistic
AI will help humanity achieve new “wonders” by 2035. Altman even sees a future where some people will choose to “plug in” via “true high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces.”
Altman’s essay also downplays the downsides, like the massive job revolution we’re about to witness. The CEO isn’t ready to propose any solution for AI stealing jobs, other than indicating that humans will adapt and some sort of new social contract might emerge:
Here is the article that discusses the above and also the huge energy consumption linked to AI services:

Not so fast…
It all sounds amazing, and it certainly beats the gloomier pictures others paint about the future of AI.Altman’s essay also downplays the downsides, like the massive job revolution we’re about to witness. The CEO isn’t ready to propose any solution for AI stealing jobs, other than indicating that humans will adapt and some sort of new social contract might emerge:
Toward the end of the post, Altman also addresses the obvious challenges. AI has to be aligned to our interests to give us the rosy future he paints in the previous paragraphs. The other challenge is making sure superintelligence is “cheap, widely available, and not too concentrated with any person, company, or country.” (I leave it you to predict how this will play out)
