Interesting, but I'd potentially also agree that paying people to become artists would be an economically viable way to decrease crime rates. I'll be taking a look at Mind Fields trailers :)

Have you watched the movie Interstellar? The way AI is portrayed in that movie, I think, is very accurate and it defines the AI-human collaboration in a very sensible, non-sensational way. I also don't like the fact that AI is portrayed mostly negatively in movies, but in a way, that's also good because people who design it probably become more careful, and take the human-AI interaction into the account more seriously.

And definitely, we might have more time to spend on the arts, but also, given the amount of time and energy we will have, we might also discover completely unprecedented fronts in the humanities, because:

1. Our lives will be much more different than they are today.
2. The human colossus, given the opportunity, ends up making unpredictable discoveries.

The future is not visible, and this is actually a source of hope for us!
