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 . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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?]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
