Yes I do, and it's totally different than Gutenberg or Turing. But as soon as AI is programmed with "ideological bias" it becomes an agenda, a tool to manipulate people. Besides, it's training people to think less, and put in less effort. It will have long term negative effects on society.
This has been said about every significant invention ever.
Well, do you see where society is at now?
It seems like it has been subject to many long term negative effects over the past decade or so.
AI is a totally different ballgame, and I'm sure you know this.
This is how they tried to suppress the calculator in schools.
A search engine also impedes your thinking.
Some search engines more than others!
But they always do.
No you don't otherwise you wouldn't be saying any of this.
You are kind of getting upset, so I assume you work in the AI field in some way? I think the development of AI is interesting, intriguing, and opens many doors to many possibilities. But I still think it's a bad idea. It's not that I don't trust AI, it's that I don't trust humans, and they are the ones implementing AI.
Quote from Jurassic Park, that I think applies to AI well: "We were so preoccupied with whether we could, we didn’t stop to think if we should."
Don't make assumptions.
I'm actually an appliance repairman.
Making dinosaurs from mosquitoes is not the same as implementing new technology.
You can say the same thing about the first ape that picked up the first rock and beat his enemy to death with it. Should he have picked up that rock?
Let's not forget all those inventions made during war time for the purposes of killing that trickled down to various things we use everyday. Such as GPS, microwave ovens and duct tape.
Nobody asked us if we should we just did it.
Your statement about AI is closed minded and ignorant. You failed to see all the advancements that it's made currently in computing, medicine, research, software development.
Humans have an inherent need to survive and cooperate it is built into our DNA. There is a reason why we haven't killed each other with nukes yet.
Artificial intelligence will be the next step in human evolution it is absolutely inevitable.
You're free to feel that way, I just disagree and think we'd be better off without AI. Time will tell whether we should have put an end to it, or if it was a great invention.
