I don’t know what to believe. On the one hand we have people who are genuine about their concerns about a looming AI takeover and on the other we have those who think the current cohort of purported AI (ChatGPT et al) are simply sexed up predictive text apps.
Would I be wrong to say that AI is just an upgraded flint axe … only a tool that grew a brain, well sort of?
About children, I’m pessimistic. There was a time when the only “temptations” that could lead them astray were wine/money; over time there’s been an explosion of psychotropic drugs—vastly increasing the pathways to self-desctruction—and it doesn’t look good ma’am, no it doesn’t. Those few who make it, manage a decent life, would surely be a breed apart, to have survived the storm; perhaps luckier would be a more apt term. What role will AI play? Hunt with the hounds and run with the hares, no? Let us take a moment to pray. 🙂
Si, I have the same difficulty. However, sources indicate that Socrates/Plato/others didn’t brush it aside as inconsequential.
I tried googling, but haven’t found anything that could be considered a solution.
