BC / AC now: BAI / AAI (before AI / after AI)

Two thousand years ago, the belief that a literal God had arrived on Earth marked a singular moment that divided history into "before" and "after," restarting humanity’s calendar.

Soon, the arrival of Artificial Superintelligence might be considered by many as the most important event in human history. Describing this pivotal moment as the advent of a "Digital God" could even prompt authorities to reset our historical calendars once again.

If AGI were achieved in 2025, historians might retroactively label it as "Year Zero" or "Year One of the Digital God." However, this time, we might be surprised to find that the new AI era resembles Greek mythology more than the Christian New Testament.

Because if the future restarts now with the arrival of AGI, it may also restart every year thereafter, with each new and improved AGI milestone completely dwarfing the previous one.

Consequently, we might begin to feel like the ancient Greeks—at the mercy of a growing pantheon of AGI demigods and deities, constantly producing ever-more powerful offspring while battling for supremacy and fucking with us for entertainment.
