> What does it tell us about progress if the most influential technological innovation of the century is clearly destroying lives on a massive scale? (The author is referring to smartphones.) The author draws the wrong correlation. Smartphones enable communication. More communication is not the problem, but it is a catalyst that enables the problem to cause more damage. The problem is that everything we see from government and corporations is a lie. The fix would be to make it a felony to lie in the course of business. Criminally prosecute every stockholder of every corporation that makes claims that are proven false. Lock them up. I can not say what the solution is to lying politicians. > so why do companies that use AI hide it? Why do consumers hate it? Anyone using AI correctly is doing great. AI helps us learn. AI helps us be more productive. The correct use of AI when authoring an article is to ask the AI: "Please rate this on a scale of 1 to 100 and give me 10 bullet points on what to improve. Do not reword any if it for me. Just give me bullet points on what to improve." The issue is once again that people lack values. People screw other people by not spending the time to even proof read what AIs can generate. Those people need to be fired.
