AI is going to doom human culture if you let it.
- edgyquant 4y agoYep just like the written word

- didericis 4y agoNo, it’s quite different. It’s taking subtle human judgement out of decision making. Some systems don’t need subtle social decision making. Using AI for those systems is great. But a lot do. And in those that do, if you’re not careful and automate too much, errors compound. Quickly. AI recommendation engines have already ripped society apart and increased division, because the subtle bridge building that human curation enables is removed. Hospital systems have been being increasingly systematized and are becoming increasingly hellish and expensive. They’re a non AI example of the same phenomenon. The risks are in trying to systematizes things with a social aspect. I love automation and think we should strive to free up as much time for exploration, creativity, and human connection as we can. But AI is just plain bad at understanding us, and always will be, in my view. It will always be a mimic. It simply cannot do the subtle social things humans do because it does not have the motivations that enable that subtle behavior.
- greendude29 4y agoThere has to a term that refers to comments like the above - simple one liners that at first might seem true; they appeal to a basal irrational nature within us that has an impulsive reaction, as if a pointed jab. But the more you think about them, the less sense it makes. The comment above is nonsense; dangerous at worst, idiotic at best. There's no comparison between AI and writing.
- mistermann 4y agoIncorrect intuitive beliefs that appear to the holder as knowledge? The problem is so common, I really think there should be a term.
- mistermann 4y agoI predict humans will doom themselves first.
- ohiovr 4y agoActually the image of the beast is removed a long time from now. Not seen it yet and not sure I will live to see it but it isn't hard to see what it would be.
- mistermann 4y agoImage of the beast?
- IIAOPSW 4y agoBut AI culture is going to be a cool replacement.
