"It’s not taking over, we’ve invited it."


That's already happening too.  I recently saw the results of a poll that said roughly 30% ... of those polled ... believe that the AI Chatbots are an appropriate partner for a relationship, and some take that as far as the relationship being romantic.  I don't think it is too far away that somebody tries to build a religion around AI, and in fact the series "Mrs. Davis" (which is actually a really fun show to watch ... streaming on Peacock) already uses that as its major premise.

I'm a big supporter of AI, but the problem with AI is humans, not AI itself ... at least not so far since AI is yet to become sentient. By the way, my own "Turing" criteria for when AI becomes sentient to the level of humans is when it intentionally causes harm on its own just because it can.

Exactly. It fits the trend so cleanly that it’s a natural, even invisible 
transition. It’s not taking over, we’ve invited it.

This article describing studies of the influence of AI tools on human learning

the corpus of collective human wisdom, is there a death spiral of societal 
knowledge into whirlpools of utter ignorance?
