This really does scare me, because the power of this is in the hands of those who consider 8 billion people to be useless eaters and wouldn't mind them being gone.

I think this technology potentially a boon if it were used as an educational aid to teach people, like a rudimentary holodeck. I think kids could advance their education at least twice as fast as they currently can under an educational aid like AI.

The problem is that many people don't want to learn.

In fact, we already have plenty of resources for people who really do want to learn (including AI at its current state and resources like Khan Academy) but some people are lazy and backward-looking.

Even in its current state, AI is going to divide humanity into 2 groups (at a minimum): First, those people who want to learn and get smarter using AI as a tool, and second, those people who hate exercising their brains and are quite happy to remain stupid.

Those in the second group (many of whom are currently in college🤣) are about to become useless eaters and in doing so will imperil themselves.

I use AI every day and have one primary complaint.

As they are currently structured, the AI platforms I use do not learn from their interaction with me. Their learning is fixed and intentionally anchored in their "training" data sets.

Soon (I hope), you and I will be able to subscribed to an AI platform that can learn along with us and adapt to our own personal ways of thinking and learning.

I think personalized RAG (Retrieval Augmentation Generation architecture) is a step in that direction, but I haven't built a RAG for myself...yet.

I call this the Age of Unreason. Never in human history have we had so much information available. Thanks to the left most of it’s wrong.

I listen to You Tube videos often. I’m sure they use AI. One was about a ship and it referenced a ship’s bow often and pronounced it correct almost every time. But a couple of times it said bo instead of bow. Just one example but I still think that it’s not ready for prime time.

Kind of like in 2009 when TV switched from analog to digital TV. They weren’t ready but did it anyway. They eventually worked it out but it was still annoying. That’s where I believe we are now with AI.

A I is going to wipe our asses for us? Give me a break. And the mechanical Turk can beat all chess players.
