Curious if you agree with me, or if you have a different perspective!
AI is an amplifier.
Also not really your opinion if you just linked someone else’s article.
AI does to convince people to kill, people convince themselves because they have mental issues and fall into a bad space. Outcome would be the same if they found a sketchy forum or a dubious friend on 4chan or something.
from my perspective as a human being, consciousness is our strength.
when I use ChatGPT to help me be productive, I don’t rely on it entirely. I still feel that there is a gap, there is something that doesn’t quite connect in what it writes/says.
if we think AI always understands us, that’s not really the case. it’s just a tool anyway.
when a person commits a terrible act, why blame an inanimate object like AI? the responsibility lies with human, humans are accountable for how it’s used, they have their own free will to do or do not
I feel like what’s happening now is more of a cultural evolution instead of biological evolution.
Imo, 50k years ago, the complex language started as a cultural breakthrough. Over many generations, groups that mastered complex languages survived better (coordinating hunts, warning on dangers, passing knowledge), and so natursl selection favored brains with better wiring for language. Their children did inherit the genetic traits that made learning language easier but the process of biological evolution needs to take thousands of years.
In contrast, AI’s influence today is immediate. It spreads new communication habits the way fashions, songs, or technologies do, through culture, not DNA.
So yeah I agree somethig prfound is happening. AI is reshaping us. But it is a cultural transformation, not a species-level biological one.
