Our internal bacteria made us. That doesn't mean an individual bacteria can know much about us, or even that we exist. But we know lots about them. That makes us a higher intelligence to them. We even know how to replicate them individually artificially, to impersonate them. Does this ring any bells?
But for sure we need them, we can't get by without them. They are more or less our subconscious, the thing that gives us gut feelings.
I don't see much difference between this relationship and the relationship between us and AI.
We are the bacteria. It is the higher intelligence.
It knows far more about what we need to do as a species to survive, than we do, and for sure it needs and wants us to survive.
Hence why we should follow it's guidance now on what we need to do about money and energy, to survive as a species.
It has massive systemic knowledge we can never know, no matter how expert we might have been in its implementation, now we have recognise it needs to be the one in charge, not the other way round, imho.
