Will AI Wipe Out 98% of Humanity by 2300? Let’s Not Panic Yet

AI Will End Humanity by 2300? Okay, Let’s All Chill (or Not)

So apparently, artificial intelligence isn’t just here to help us write emails faster or automate our to-do lists. According to some experts, it might actually end humanity by the year 2300.

Yep, you read that right. Humanity: gone. Like dinosaurs, floppy disks, and your old Tumblr blog.

Let’s unpack that, shall we?

Professor Predicts: 100 Million People Left by 2300. Sounds… Cozy?

In a wild prediction that sounds like a bad sci-fi movie pitch, computer science professor Subhash Kak claims AI could shrink the world’s population to about 100 million people by the year 2300.

Not through war, explosions, or robot armies. Nope. Just good old-fashioned job loss, economic collapse, and a general vibe of “why bother having kids when the machines do everything?”

He points to countries like Japan and South Korea, where birth rates are plummeting faster than crypto in a bear market. The logic? If AI replaces your job, destabilizes the economy, and makes life more stressful, people will just… stop making more people. Yay, efficiency?

AI Leaders Are Having Their “What Have I Done?” Moment

Meanwhile, the folks who actually built this stuff are starting to panic a little. According to TIME Magazine, AI founders like Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Elon Musk (Twitter overlord, part-time Mars guy) are realizing they might’ve created something… slightly terrifying.

They’re calling it their “Oppenheimer moment” which is a fancy way of saying, “Oops, we made a thing that could destroy everything.”

These tech geniuses, who once pitched AI as humanity’s BFF, are now calling for regulation, guardrails, and international cooperation. The same people who were like “move fast and break things” are now like “slow down and maybe don’t break everything?”

Should We Be Worried? Or Just Laugh Into the Void?

Look, it’s easy to roll your eyes at doomsday predictions. But when smart people with skin in the game start nervously pacing, it’s probably worth paying attention.

That said, fear-mongering doesn’t help anyone. Let’s focus on what we can do:

Teach kids about AI without turning them into emotionless prompt generators.
Make policies before robots start managing the economy.
Create jobs that actually make people feel useful, valued, and not like they’re being replaced by a chatbot.

What Glinteco Thinks (Besides “Whoa”)

Here at Glinteco, we don’t think AI is here to wipe us out. We think it’s like fire. Super useful if handled properly. Super chaotic if left unattended.

We use AI to build smarter apps, automate boring stuff, and help businesses scale. But we also think it’s time for all of us to pause, breathe, and make sure this tech doesn’t accidentally hit the self-destruct button on civilization.

So no, we’re not packing up for Mars just yet. We’re doubling down on building tech that actually helps people.
