First Question:
WHAT IS AI GOOD FOR ?
Answer:
It’s good for speed.
It’s good for ‘bigger’ and ‘better?’
It’s fascinating to interact with.
It’s working, gaining users by leaps and bounds.
It’s promising jobs—like aspiring politicians promising . . .

Second Question:
WHAT DOES AI DO THAT WE CAN’T DO ALREADY ?
Answer:
It seems obvious that AI is more than just bigger and faster computers, connected with power like never before (consumption of power and capabities of power).
And, there is something mysterious what AI can do—unknown—speculation

Third Question:
DO WE REALLY NEED AI ?
As soon as a person starts using AI, interesting things happen,
Fascination with the speed (instant anything), with the broadening horizons (in every direction), with the ‘entertainment’ (for fun ?), with the amazing thoughts (for the serious user), with the lure of getting used to AI (hooked, dependent, addicted).
What we need more than AI—we need discernment for where it’s coming from.

Fourth Question:
WHAT IS AI TELLING US ?
AI is telling us just about everything we want to hear, about anything we ask.
And AI is communicating harmless innocence. [?for now?]

Fifth Question:
WHAT IS AI NOT TELLING US ?
AI is not telling us what AI is going to do with it’s sudden rise and popularity.
A system created so cleverly can easily conceal just as much as it can reveal.

Sixth Question:
WHAT IS AI DOING TO US ?
AI is coming on so strong, so fast, that most people will not realize its widespread influence.
Each person should stop now and evaluate, “What is AI doing to me?”
“Do I resist AI’s influence?”

Seventh Question:
WHAT WILL AI DO TO US ?
Speculation about AI is everywhere.
That alone answers a big part of the question.
Small comfort in saying AI can be used for good or bad, just like all the other technology created in recent decades.
With the power that AI demonstrates, and consumes, such power will be be grasped and used for somebody’s goals.

Last question:
WHAT IS AI BAD FOR ?
AI is bad for humans, with our limits.
We cannot endure faster and faster.
We cannot endure more and more information and more new ideas.
What is AI bad for—not giving us a moral and spiritual compass, a foundation.
We are already pulled in dozens of directions, to destabilize our character and our culture and our country.

Without firm convictions and beliefs, a person cannot withstand what AI is bringing.
Keep reading, and not just about AI.
Ominous, yes (70 synonyms)—but the bottom line, the last word is encouragement, and for good reason.

WHAT IS AI BAD FOR ?

In all of history, there has never been a weapon invented that did not get used !

AI is the ultimate perfect weapon to establish complete control—complete control of everything—complete control of everybody !

AI is the ultimate perfect weapon also because it does not have to cause widespread destruction and loss of life to gain complete control.

BUT, THEN, anything is possible—destruction of selected businesses, lifestyles, beliefs and values—choking infrastructures, to eliminate undesirables.

AI is just a weapon, but everything hinges on who is in charge of, controlling AI.

Whoever controls AI will control the world—we are ripe for this to happen.

There were several competitors racing to make the A-bomb – we were first, that settled WWII‐‐‐the good guys won.

Today there are several competitors racing to be in control of AI‐‐‐first place goes to __.

The winner will rule the world.

It can be safely assumed:

— AI is created by someone.

— AI is accountable to someone.

— AI is very powerful, but not all-powerful.

— AI is big, very big, growing big and fast.

— AI appears to have come on the scene suddenly, by surprise.

— AI appears to have goals, uncomfortable goals.

— AI may appear to be (become) human, even superhuman.

— AI may appear to be on track to control our lives.

— AI is scarey, perhaps rightly so.

— AI is here, but AI is not a ‘being’, not alive like claims of encounters with assorted monstrous creatures and aliens on ufo’s.

— AI may be compared to (described as) an image with seemingly supernatural powers—an image representing a real, live being that created it.

— AI may be scarey, but not to be feared.

— AI is dangerous, but the creator and operator of AI is far more dangerous—
the ultimate dangerous.

I started with “It can be safely assumed:”
I have listed some of the assumptions that can be made about AI.

I stop here, just short of stating what AI could very well become.

Many readers will guess where I’m going with this, but my purpose once again is giving you something to make you think.
