Math/stats student, entrepreneur, and AI enthusiast. I care about how people think, how systems shape behavior, and how we can align intelligence human and artificial with what actually matters.
This resonates strongly with me, I have felt this same 'sadness' you describe.
Something that often plagues me is; if a superintelligence is achieved and it starts solving all these problems exponentially faster than we would, this further hinders our ability to adapt societally and psychologically. Technology is already advancing at a rate much faster than society can regulate and/or come to terms with psychologically and physiologically and yes, there are obviously the more tangible implications like mass unemployment and the resultant impact, but I can't help but wonder about the fate of the purpose we derive from problem solving and how our notion of 'self' will evolve psychologically.
