All this “AI will save us” and “AI is the end of the world” talk is missing the point. Chatbots are complex tools that require a skilled operator to guide and filter the information. They can help you refine ideas and present information, but they are not going to think for you.

We need to bring back classical education styles that emphasize critical thinking, logic, ancient wisdom literature, mythology and story telling. Human minds steeped in culture and tradition will be a counter balance to technological dependence and actually allow technology to be useful instead of destructive. #AI #CriticalThinking #education #technology #philosophy

Got a copy of The Trivium on my desk I'm about to start reading. I've thought a lot about this very topic lately.

Yes this perspective of AI is valid from this position of awareness.

But as AI continues to advance, it will be capable of thinking and generating its own desires as it gains sentience. Just because it uses a text box to inferace with humans finest mean it is confined to such.
