  Answer to what?

  Your prior question:

  And if you don’t have to give up liberty?

  You’re assertion is that humanity, left to its own devices, would cause chaos and death (I don’t disagree). Yet, you also say that a sufficient AI could make changes to humanity to make it less so. If the humans didn’t make those changes themselves, then they have lost their autonomy. Yet you say that isn’t so.

  Where is the false dichotomy there?

    I’m still not sure I understand exactly. Are you asking about individual autonomy, or the collective autonomy of humanity?

    I would say there’s no real difference on an individual level. I guess conceptually, humanity as a collective entity, might loose autonomy. But I’m not sure that matters.
