“Humans must merge with machines or become irrelevant in AI age”
Because our purpose in life is to stay relevant.

No. This is the demented ranting of someone who believes that “artificial intelligence” can be more intelligent than the human programmers who created it.
Sorry, but man will not “merge” with machines.

Dear Elon, we tried that already. It was called the Stepford Wife . . .
Pretty good for us men, not so good for women.
If we are going to merge anyway I’d like to partner up with Sophie Marceau . . . get designing Elon!

Elon says this in a way to make himself look foolish, but at some level, he’s right. We already are merging with machines. Does anyone have a pacemaker? A stent? An artificial knee? A prosthetic leg? These devices more and more will have computers in them to help them to work and to monitor our health on a real time basis.
