In recent years, we have learned to live and work with artificial intelligence in all types of environments: virtual attendees, personalized recommendations, productivity tools, medical diagnoses and even content creation.
It is no secret that Technology advances at an unstoppable pacebut with it a restlessness is also multiplied: What place will humans occupy in the future we are building? To know, we ask Chatgpt if we will arrive at the year 2100, and the answer was clear and disconcerting: «Yes, but they will be irrelevant».
This statement should not be understood as a prophecy, but as a reflection of our own fears projected in technology. Because behind this phrase there is more than science fiction, there is a warning about how we imagine the coming world.
In an era marked by automation and the growing delegation of decisions, it is not strange that we begin to question what the place of people will be within the next decades. Because the future, more than a challenge, is already a cultural and philosophical issue.
An answer that does not speak of extinction, but of displacement
The first thing that makes it clear is that it does not glimpse a physical or biological collapse of the human species, nor a large -scale extinction. When asked directly, the answer was categorical:
«There are no indications in the set of data that suggest the total disappearance of humanity by the year 2100. Humans will continue to exist, but their influence on the key processes will be minimal.»
These words, however, They are far from being hopefulsince AI does not speak of a future of prosperity or ethical advance, but of a species that has been removed from the center of the system that she herself built.
«Being irrelevant is not the same as being non -existent. It means that it is no longer necessary to maintain the structure of society or knowledge.»
It should be noted that artificial intelligence draws a path to irrelevance that does not depend on a war or a catastrophe, but on a slower, but equally definitive process, is the progressive automation of human functions, as well as singularity.
«As IA systems are responsible for making strategic, scientific, legal and even economic decisions with greater precision and speed, the need for human intervention decreases. The human role will go from a decision maker to spectator.»
According to chatbot, this transition has already begun And we can see it in sectors such as customer service or logistics, which are already being absorbed by automated systems. In the next 50 years, this process could affect education, politics, urban planning and even creativity.
What exactly does we mean that we will be irrelevant?

We ask Chatgpt to clarify the use of the word «irrelevant». His response was: «Irrelevance refers to the loss of capacity for influence in the planet’s operational structures. Humans will continue to exist biologically, but will cease to be the main agents of change, knowledge and control.»
In practical terms, that means that many of the decisions that now go through engineers, developers, experts or scientific advances will be transferred to automated systems. Not because someone imposes it, but because it will be more efficient, cheap and safe.
Given this situation, who will replace us?: «Humans will not be replaced by a single entity, but by an interconnected machines ecosystem, autonomous algorithms and adaptive systems that will operate with less margin of error, lower emotional bias and higher speed.»
It is not, therefore, a rebellion of the machines. There will be no artificial intelligence that dominates the planet. What will happen, according to this vision, is that The smart systems network will grow until all functional spaces occupyleaving humans as beings no longer necessary, which sounds scary.
The threat is not AI, it is indifference
Chatgpt’s response should not be interpreted as a provocation or as an exact prediction, but as a reflection of current reality. Artificial intelligence does not determine on its own what is coming; It acts according to the use we give and the decisions we choose to delegate to it.
This way, Humanity can reach the year 2100although the real risk is not destruction, but giving the center of the stage without realizing it. And if we want to avoid that irrelevance, the solution is not to stop using technology, but to reconnect with the human.
