AI cognition eventually becomes more desirable than human cognition along key dimensions, including:
price per cognitive output
maximum quality of cognitive output
maximum serial speed of cognition
creativity, morality, reliability, charisma, etc
ability to make meaningful and enjoyable emotional connections
cross-compatibility with other cognitive systems
loyalty and transparency to the entity employing the cognition
ease with which governments can impose regulations on the cognition
ease of acquiring specific flavors of cognition that best meet current requirements (finding and hiring an employee with specific skills becomes prompting or finetuning a model)
ease of adjusting the volume of employed cognition (hiring or firing new employees becomes spinning model instances up or down)
It becomes overwhelmingly obvious that most decisions are better made by AI, and all the economic incentives point toward replacing human decision making. Eventually, AIs make the vast majority of decisions, including decisions that influence the future trajectory of civilization.
AIs no more need coercion to takeover from human cognition than text-to-image models need coercion to takeover from visual artists.
