Introspection. Why am I seemingly negative on AI despite dedicating my career to it? It's because I believe in AI's fundamentally transformative potential. I'd hate to see that potential squandered.
I believe that AI will be able to comprehend and understand human biology, chemical reactions, nuclear power, and near-lightspeed dynamics at an intuitive level. AI will have this intuition on these otherworldly planes of reality that humans will not possess.
I don't think this is a controversial statement either. We already simulate computer chips, nuclear physics, and protein folding better than the human can ever comprehend.
I believe that AI will triumph in all these planes of reality other than our own.
You can imagine my frustration then, when all I see is people attempting to replace humans with AI in the one plane of reality where humans excel. When people think that we can replace social interactions with AI interactions, when people think that we can replace human art with AI art, and when people think that we can replace human exploration with AI web-browsing.
AI is good for so much more. Let AI live in the realms it excels.
The path forward is not to mix and mix and mix humans and AI together. It is for humans to live in the human world, supported by AIs which live on their own otherworldly plane.
And for goodness sake, never make me talk to an AI.
