This guy I just meet was talking about AI is going to make us all NPC and dumb. Argument ended on me saying If anything it’s going to enhance services and products if used wisely with conjunction with humans creativity
Discussion
I think that there might be something to what he is saying. I worry about this in the educational context where students are increasingly relying on AI to either actually write their assignments or do much of the heavy lifting with research, outlining, and argumentation. When we offload these tasks to AI, we are gradually undermining our own capacity for thinking. The risks become even more evident when you consider that AIs will have their own forms of political bias, including "off limits" topics. No doubt, AI will be hugely beneficial when it comes to increased productivity, but we need to be careful not to diminish our own thinking skills in the process.
Most definitely, in terms of production It will probably enhance services the guy I met with had some valid points but I would say he was more on the fence of being scared of it rather to embrace it. It’ll be like when many people thought computers will take their jobs, it didn’t and rather created new ventures to be explored, and new solutions to new/old problems
Both can be true.
I’d fear for humans overall because the vast majority of people don’t want to be creative or to work hard. They want what is easy. Easy grades, easy job, easy money. If AI provides that…then critical thinking goes down in the masses.
Services and productivity going up is excellent for those that want to benefit from that, either as a company or as a user.
Oh yea I can see it, I mean just look at Tik tok many people act like NPC simply because it’s trending. It’s just a matter of how people use it
