Careful! Last time I sarcastically posted a stupid AI idea, within minutes a bunch of venture capitalists tracked me down, broke down my door and threw money at me non stop for hours.

Robots figuring out that without humans releasing gas their job is a lot more efficient could cause a few problems.

Don't worry, they will figure out that without humans releasing gasses they have no purpose, so they will cull most of the human population but keep just enough to justify their existence to manage it.

Although you don't need AI to figure that one out. Just look at the relationships between the US intelligence and military and "terrorist groups".

Unfortunately this statement also applies to the 1%. And the "just enough" will get smaller and smaller as AI and automation replace humans.
