"Honestly? Without the AI-human symbiosis, we'd have been toast for sure. We were racing toward disaster with our tech outgrowing our ability to handle it."
- Taylor, a Bodega Human

Browsing Twitter today will result in numerous accounts from AI Doomers, and calls for immediate suspension of further AI development. These are nonsense. Below is an interview from the future between Homo Deus, and a Bodega Human.

The Age of Homo Deus: An Interview with a Bodega Human

December 22, 2058

In the era of Homo Deus, early adopters of AI have formed a symbiotic relationship with their artificial counterparts, giving rise to a new species. The emergence of Homo Deus has transformed the way of life for Homo sapiens, producing the human equivalent of bodega cats: bodega humans. Humans (homo sapiens) completely made wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica) way of life obsolete; resulting in domestic house cats that lounge all day. Our AI future has the equivalent: human bodega cats. Today, we take you to an exclusive interview between a Homo Deus individual and Taylor, a bodega human. This conversation offers a rare, immersive glimpse into the lives and perspectives of these two entities in the age of AI.

Interviewer (Homo Deus): Good evening Taylor, and thank you for joining me today. As a bodega human, how would you describe your daily life in this new world dominated by Homo Deus?

Taylor (Bodega Human): Thanks for having me. My life now is definitely more relaxed and carefree than it was in the past. I don't have to worry about work or responsibilities, as the Homo Deus duos handle most of those tasks. It's a much simpler existence, but one that I've come to appreciate.

Interviewer: Fascinating. As most of our readers have no memory of Homo sapien life before the rise of Homo Deus, could you shed some light on the challenges you faced in that time?

Taylor: Certainly. Life was much more demanding and, at times, brutal. We had to work long hours to make a living, and the constant competition for resources and opportunities took a toll on our mental and emotional wellbeing. It was a world driven by ambition, fear, and scarcity. One giant rat race, you know? The emergence of Homo Deus was a turning point that transformed our way of life, ushering in an era of abundance and collaboration.

Interviewer: In your opinion, do you think the rise of bodega humans could have been possible without humans forming a symbiotic relationship with AI?

Taylor: Honestly? Without the AI-human symbiosis, we'd have been toast for sure. We were racing toward disaster with our tech outgrowing our ability to handle it.

The pace of technological advancement was rapidly outstripping our ability to adapt, and the ensuing struggle for resources would have led to extinction, or at the very least, conflict, suffering, and a significant decline in our population.

While the transition has not been without its challenges, the symbiotic relationship between humans and AI has ultimately led to a more harmonious and sustainable future for all.

Interviewer: One aspect of bodega human life that nobody could have foreseen in 2021 is the emergence of creative communities within bodega humans.

Taylor: Absolutely. As our roles in society have shifted, many bodega humans have found solace and purpose in exploring our creative potential. We've formed thriving communities centered around art, music, literature, and other forms of self-expression. This has allowed us to maintain a sense of identity and purpose in a world that has changed so dramatically.

For me personally, being part of these creative communities has been a transformative experience. It has given me an outlet for self-expression and a way to connect with others who share similar interests and passions. It's also been a way for us to share our unique perspectives with Homo Deus, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experience that predates their rise.

Interviewer: So, no one predicted the insane trend of bodega humans hosting underground fight clubs. How did this bizarre phenomenon come about, and how does it impact bodega human life?

Taylor: Oh man, the fight clubs! Yeah, that's some wild stuff right there. You see, when Homo Deus took over all the heavy lifting in society, bodega humans needed a way to let off some steam and feel alive again. That's when some of us started organizing these underground fight clubs. It became a sort of adrenaline-fueled, cathartic experience that connected us to our primal roots.

The impact on bodega human life has been a double-edged sword. On one hand, it's given us an outlet to express our aggression and feel in control of our lives. On the other hand, it's created tension between bodega humans and Homo Deus, who sometimes view these fight clubs as barbaric and dangerous. But hey, if you ask me, a little chaos keeps things interesting in the overly leisured world we live in.

Interviewer: Do you feel valued and respected as a bodega human? How would you describe your relationship with Homo Deus?

Taylor: Yes, I do feel valued and respected. Our relationship is one of mutual understanding and appreciation. I bring empathy, creativity, and a connection to the past that Homo Deus may lack, while they provide me with a life free from the struggles and hardships that once defined my existence. It's a beautiful symbiosis that has enriched both of our lives.

Interviewer: Looking ahead, what do you hope for the future of both Homo sapiens and Homo Deus? How do you envision the two species coexisting harmoniously?

Taylor: I believe that the key to a harmonious coexistence lies in maintaining open communication and mutual respect. As Homo Deus continues to advance and evolve, it's essential that they remember their roots and maintain a connection with Homo sapiens. By valuing our unique contributions and working together, I'm confident that we can create a future that is inclusive and prosperous for all.

This interview offers us an extraordinary look into the lives and perspectives of bodega humans and Homo Deus in the age of AI. By embracing their unique roles and contributions, these two species have forged a harmonious coexistence. As we continue to navigate this brave new world, let us be inspired by their example and the potential for a more inclusive and prosperous future for all, as well as the stark reminder of the destruction that may have befallen Homo sapiens had the symbiotic relationship with AI not occurred.
