AI is a big change, which will permeate life. This kind of change can be scary. Stories trying to predict how things will change is both meaningless and also thought provoking.
History is full of big changes. We've all grown up with grandma's stories of indoor plumbing or electricity coming, or TV or whatever. Many of us now would sound insane describing a rotary dial phone to our grandkids.
So yeah, change is coming, but to be fair it's always been here. And the effects of the change can be surprising or predictable. But we'll figure it out as we go.
When I went to school there were no mobile phones. Computers at home were very niche. There was no internet. No email. Crumbs, when away from home we'd write, you know, letters! Being a typist was a job. Secretaries took dictation and wrote in shorthand. If we wanted a meeting we got together in the same room.
Will AI change things? Surely it will. Welcome to my world.
- onemoresoop 2y agoIm not worried with AI as much as who will be controlling it. It could be a powerful tool for the wealthy to get wealthier and supress discontent if they’re the ones who leverage it. Yeah, of course nobody knows how things will eventually turn out but we ought to keep a tab on it.
