So you've realized that one side of the extreme is irrational because it's extremely over-positive, and decided you'd just jump on the other side of the irrational extreme over-negative to be contrary? Saying AI will save the world is just as irrational as saying it will destroy it. By your own admission, even.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoWell, I don't think my statements are extreme actually. I've given them a lot of thought and reasoned them out more fully elsewhere. I do sincerely believe AI has the capability to make society significantly worse and even destroy it through its isolating effects and through its removal of purpose from humanity. Of course, these comment boxes are a little small to have extended discussions but I'm perfectly willing to hear any serious arguments against what I have to say.
- blackbear_ 3y agoDo you have a blog or website with your thoughts on this?
- vouaobrasil 3y agoYes I do. I'm not sure it's allowed to link here but it's blog.jpolak.org. Some posts are quite long with much more detailed analysis and arguments. I also recommend David Skrbina's "The Metaphysics of Technology" although my posts and thoughts are independent of that book.
