If we succeed in building strong AI it may take the helm from us in the battle of complexity against entropy. And the most friendly AI might offer humanity comfortable population controlled hairless monkey habitats to live out our remaining millenia as a species.

"the battle of complexity against entropy" ... you make reality sound like a tolkien story, starwars or some epic hero's journey thing like that. Where do you take the certainty from, to believe in such invisible arrows of relentless progress? Its really rather comedic :)

"the battle of complexity against entropy" < battle implies parties and a thing to be won (aka progress), no? I'm not rooting for Nihilism (yet..) when discussing the big picture, but injecting a tiny dose of that instead of this lingo of certainty can certainly be refreshing ;)

I think that life is indeed locked in a battle against entropy. Cells can be understood as supermolecules that create and stabilize their structure with information processing. Competition between organisms has given rise to complexity. But there is no meaning in all of this.

Life is cells. Entropy is the increase of decorrelation of information with location, which corresponds to increasing difficulty to model and control.
