We are in a Brave New World with AI showing up everywhere---even on fan forums regarding terrible football teams. Some thoughts on using AI here . . . .
Information is collected with very little source verification. That was true back when the first caveman drew pictures of prey animals on rock walls. In our modern world of information overload, it is impossible. Just having a ‘source’ is no assurance that the ‘source’ is valid. AI narratives are becoming better at including their 'source.' What we don't know is how much AI was used to compose the source that is being cited. We are so eager for an answer that any answer will do. We assume that we are in the right location to stick a spear in that bison. We saw it painted on the wall, didn’t we?
Here’s the best-case scenario: AI is just a step on the evolution leading to biochips embedded and fully integrated in the brain of every human moments after the umbilical cord is cut. All the world’s knowledge and trivia will be accessible via thought. Research will not be necessary: just a download at the brainstem center to get the latest update.
Here’s the worst-case scenario: AI evolves to the point where it is fully self-aware and appreciates that humans are unnecessary for its own survival. The ‘Singularity’ refers to the point where AI surpasses human intelligence and can improve itself better than humans can. So much for all humans getting a biochip with all the knowledge of the World. Humans will be lucky to get a biochip to sweep up around the AI center. AI will just terminate the failed biological human experiment and go with robots to accomplish the mechanics of mining necessary metals for AI centers. Of course, AI had better put in a ‘kill switch’ in those robots before they become self-aware.
Using AI in its early stages is simply helping AI accumulate the database on the human race that it will need to make that termination decision. Everything exchanged on the Net is going into the AI witch’s brew. Meanwhile, we will look up those stats on our favorite terrible football team.
