I believe, or at least hope, that while AI may be tremendously efficient at crunching prodigious amounts of data, our brains can compete when we utilize our intuition and creative linking capacity (for example, I believe that the incessant negativity present in all the news we're exposed to has a general depressive effect).
Regarding your concerns about the proliferation of A.I., the quote below is from columnist David Brooks, who was asked, "If you were 18 going into college and feeling morally unsure about the state of the world, what would you do to try to make a difference?" His answer:
"Your generation has inherited from mine a society in a state of social, emotional, and spiritual crisis. If I were 18, I think I'd work really hard to try to learn the skills that would enable me to treat other people with consideration and respect in the concrete circumstances of life: How do you sit with someone who is depressed or grieving? How do you ask someone out, fall in love, and, when necessary, break up with someone without crushing his or her heart? How do you become a great conversationalist? These are the skills that artificial intelligence will not replace, and they are the ones that will make you a good person who has a glowing influence on the people right around you. There are many people teaching these social skills in books and online, but many people don't bother to master them."
Ben, I’ve noticed that the inventory of available properties seems to be increasing weekly. Sales may have slowed down but it seems that people owning rentals are trying to sell their properties. Why now?
