1. we evolve quickly in the grand scheme of the universe but slow when talking about human lives.
2. what would rapidly adapting to AI mean? if it’s become reliant on it for the most basic tasks in the way that people nowadays have become so reliant on calculators they barely even bother with doing math in their head, sure. If you mean adapting alongside AI where we in some way would also become way smarter as humans? Nonsense.
we adapted to the rise of language, the industrial revolution, automation of agriculture, roads and cars, all the previous forms of computer-driven automation ... all of which made some parts of us redundant. and which taken together left us richer, safer and freeer. AI will probably come a few signal benefits (an AI doctor for every person on the planet?) and plenty of sludge and pollution - and we will adapt to that in many ways.
Which is being forced onto me by people who I truly believe want me dead or at least don’t care how many bodies they throw at building their cyberpunk dystopia.
This sounds like projection. Most people don’t think like that; the people who are (rightly or wrongly) advancing AI mostly don’t think of you at all, and almost universally believe they are helping humanity.
They could be wrong (I’m ambivalent), but assuming bad intent is almost always wrong.
