Humans and AI

I recently wrote a blog post about AI, and the comments varied wildly. They ranged from “You are overblowing your concerns” to “AI is terrifying.” I fully recognize AI’s potential benefits and dangers, but the primary concern is the easy access to both. All you need is the internet, a laptop, and a GitHub or Reddit account to leverage AI’s power. Heck, I used AI to write a book on content that I wrote over the course of 4 years. It was amazing. A horrible book, but still amazing that it could pull 150 blog posts into a 220 page book.

Learning: In the end, AI has incredible benefits and it does no good in being a doomsayer about it’s dangers. As long as human controls exist to manage AI and those who leverage AI in a damaging way can be punished, we have no reason for concern.
