Thoughts on AI?
AI is not really addressed on this website, so here’s a short(ish) answer. Lazy and thoughtless usage of any technology is very problematic. Mass use of chatbots and “assistants” appears to be accelerating the loss of individual autonomy and serious thought. AI algorithms consume data in near incomprehensible amounts and this creates massive privacy implications. The human terms used to describe AI are also unhelpful: AI doesn’t “think” nor can you have a “conversation” with it. (If you’re the type of person to start your prompts with “please” then you’ve already lost.) And, as always, we should remain highly suspicious of the intentions of the multi-billionaires who so benevolently created these free tools for our enjoyment. AI is a huge topic and probably ought to be addressed at length somewhere on this website. Maybe one day.
