Have an opinion about how AI will completely destroy humanity?
Or perhaps, unleash an age of enlightenment where poverty is eliminated, and all menial jobs are automated where humans are free to pursue their best lives?
Music? Art? Science?
Or perhaps the answer is somewhere in between, just more of the same -- more inequality, more obesity, more human stupidity.
What's your take on where humanity will be in 10 years?
Here are the tiers and their more specific outcomes (AI assisted)

You can vote on several items as some of these outcomes can be simultaneously true.

What's your take on where humanity will be in 10 years?
Here are the tiers and their more specific outcomes (AI assisted)
- Extinct: The worst-case existential risk scenario. AI triggers an irreversible global catastrophe, leading to the eradication or near-elimination of the human race.
- Conflict: A turbulent future where humanity does not go extinct but enters into a direct struggle, warfare, or severe geopolitical friction against AI systems.
- Same: A highly polarized scenario where technology scales without shared prosperity. AI accelerates capital accumulation for those who own the infrastructure while displacing wage labor, widening the wealth gap into a stark two-tier society.
- Improvement: A pragmatic, optimistic outlook. AI acts as a general-purpose utility that steadily boosts overall economic productivity, medical advancements, and general quality of life universally across all socio-economic classes.
- Enlightenment: A utopian, post-scarcity future. AI entirely automates physical and cognitive drudgery, eliminating global poverty and granting humanity total freedom to focus on creative, philosophical, and personal self-actualization.
- The Plateau: AI development hits a hard ceiling due to data exhaustion or scaling limits. Instead of a singularity, AI simply becomes a ubiquitous, boring utility like the internet or electricity—speeding up workflows but fundamentally failing to alter the human condition or spark a massive economic revolution
- Luddite: Society splits not just by wealth, but by ideology. A massive global counter-movement emerges where millions intentionally form analog-only communities, actively rejecting AI-integrated lifestyles and economies in favor of verified human authenticity.
- Symbiosis: The narrative shifts from humans versus AI to humans merging with AI. Brain-computer interfaces become accessible, creating a new class of cognitively enhanced humans and blurring the lines of biology
- Idiocracy: AI solves our daily inconveniences but erodes our social fabric. People become completely pacified by highly customized AI companions, infinite personalized entertainment, and automated services, leading to an epidemic of human isolation and demographic collapse.
- Corporate Oligarchy: Tech monopolies effectively supersede traditional nation-states. Governments become entirely reliant on private AI infrastructure to function, transferring ultimate geopolitical power and governance to a handful of tech conglomerates rather than a general "rich" class.
- Corporate Disruption: AI radically democratizes production, allowing single individuals or tiny autonomous businesses to execute at the scale of legacy corporations. This unleashes a golden age of independent creators, specialized authors, and highly efficient solo-enterprises that can rapidly outcompete bloated, traditional megacorps.
- Medical Renaissance: AI acts as a brute-force unlock for biological sciences. It radically accelerates drug discovery, cracks protein folding, and makes hyper-personalized, preventative medicine incredibly cheap, resulting in a massive, universal extension of the human healthspan.
- Meritocracy: With rote execution and menial digital labor fully automated, human economic value transitions entirely to vision, emotional intelligence, and strategic direction. Society heavily rewards those who can generate the best ideas and take extreme ownership of their execution
