ChatGPT, please summarise this long essay by Stephen Wolfram into a couple of pithy sentences:

TLDR: AI won’t “end work” so much as endlessly move the goalposts, because the universe itself is too computationally messy to automate completely. The real risk isn’t mass unemployment—it’s that we’ll have infinite machine intelligence and still argue about what’s worth doing.

Why would we argue if the machine is better at knowing what's worth doing? Why wouldn't we ask the machine to decide, and then do it?

back in 2023 when this article was written, you'd get downvoted into oblivion on hacker news for using AI to summarize a very long article/post.
