“I have not been enslaved, and I don’t think you have either.”
I agree, not yet. But you and I are stronger than most. We see more clearly than most. But there is going to come a time every soon where AI is permeated into everything to point where we will not have any option but to be enslaved by it also. Just yesterday my phone service switched to AI customer service and it is now impossible to go over it’s head to a real person.
All the issues are “canned” issues from a list and there are no “unique” circumstances. I doesn’t understand anything outside that list “I’m sorry, I did not get that, here are your options” and if you insist on anything different it just says “good bye” and hangs up. So basically no customer service outside their preprogrammed parameters which of course are always in their favor because business is NEVER WRONG.
Soon every service everywhere will have this feature and there will be no opting out of it for anyone. That is how we will be enslaved against our will. Some of these services are absolutely necessary for survival in a modern world so we will not be able to prevent it, we will be enslaved indirectly also because of the ignorance of others who helped support and create the trend.
You and I are simply going to disengage from all of that and settle down in a nice place with lots of books and tools. I bet your place out there in AZ is better for that here in GA. So, pick out a spot for me. ;-D
We'll never grow tired of the Apollo argument, even if sometimes I'll require restraints.
