AI and humanity
Bookmarked How to use AI to ensure a more human society • V.H. Belvadi by .
As a counter-example there is the absolutely outrageous suggestion that AI can be used to send our “AI avatars to meetings for us”. Unlike the example with antibiotics where, like a wrench or a lever, new technology was used to ease work that humans would have been inefficient at performing, the AI avatar suggestions treds on the very appreciation for finer aspects that human society should retain in human hands. It attempts to replace humanity.
Venkatram hits the nail on the head when reflecting on what matters if we want to ensure that we use AI to improve the human condition. The above quote illustrates something I’ve been struggling to express clearly. The dichotomy between a tool that increases human output versus a tool that replaces humanity.

Grief is a boulder
Grief is a boulder.
It is heavy, it is sharp.
It drags you down, it cuts you up.
With time you polish the boulder. Sharp edges dull.
Your strength grows, your skin thickens.
You lift, you hold.
You carry on.

What if I didn’t look at the sunrise this morning? What if it was the best sunrise ever, or my last sunrise? It’s always worth a look out and up in the morning, you just never know. This is a bit of a blur, literally, as it’s only 1 degree out there this morning and I didn’t hang about! It was worth it to see and hear the buzzards overhead though, even if the photo is naff! #Sunrise #philosophising #morning #YouNeverKnow
