Wisdom is the ability to make good decisions with knowledge possessed. Having made mistakes isn’t a prerequisite to being wise. Technology like this would increase peoples knowledge pool quickly, and if a person is “wise” they would make less mistakes as a result. Wisdom: the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment.

“Will chainsaws make lumberjacks worse at their jobs.” No, technology doesn’t make people less intelligent. This has always been a idiotic thing educators do. Academics are tech resistant because it’s not actually about educating people, it’s about making it difficult so the school appears more prestigious than it is. Sure, students should still learn core mathematics, but the notion we need to not use calculators for advanced math is ridiculous. I majored in finance and economics, I remember getting into an argument with a professor once because he forbid the use of excel. We had to use what is essentially an obsolete calculator. I can quote him to this day with one of the dumbest things I have ever heard a person say out loud. “How do I know you can do this math if you can’t do it with a financial calculator?” That man was a moron, not me for wanting to use a better tool.

All I can say is that if production is completed entirely by AI and if that amount of production stays at the current level prices would be so low it would be cartoonish. The situation where humans no longer have to produce breaks the concept of current economics. You’ll have a situation where goods are produce so efficiently there costs will plummet. In my academic years I described it as the sword that cuts the knot. It would require an entirely new way of economic thinking. The deflationary pressures on production are already enormous, current inflationary trends are caused almost entirely by logistical problems. That’s why OPEC cuts production. If you figure out a way to produce everything without labor, prices will become cartoonishly low. The core cost of production will be raw materials and even they would theoretically be produced or acquired via AI.
