The main problem with AI is not the technology itself but the fools who use it for all sorts of bad purposes.
So called artificial intelligence (content generators) requires regulation and legislation as soon as possible today, it is a very dangerous technology and the first danger is the people themselves – there are too many fools among us so it is likely that the majority will drown in their own crap of spam, nonsense, and tastelessness, propaganda and lies generated by the tech.
While the real talents, the wise men and creators may lose their already few chances to reach the crowd, lose their already minimal share of attention to keep the balance fresh.
Disinformation and spam, intoxication of the flow of information, the primary signs of disease.
With today’s weak stack of by-money-corrupted values and morals of the early digital era of hyper capitalism and globalization where most people survive and eat each other, a middleman has a very weak notion of decency, duty, quality, honour, he literally will easily sign a bill to your death or to his own degradation for the sake of money or his career or that pseudo “stability”, without a doubt. With artificial intelligence, they are going to contaminate everything and choke themselves even faster than before. Already today search engines are full of false empty information generated by the bots, all big sites are full of spam and bots and cheap low-quality content.
An epidemic of spam and misinformation…
What good has content generators (“AI”) done so far besides spam and misinformation? This technology is potentially useful – but for the smart, for the trained and talented people. But it can be dangerous for the masses, dangerous for the idiots, for the evil (remember – evil is blatant ignorance) – we’ve got so many of them in our world. This technology needs to be discreetly shielded by laws and regulations.
Because most people are greedy morons… it’s getting harder and harder to navigate the information space. But information is everything.
To survive in this world you need to train your senses, your intuition for information, your bullshit filter. Build real connections.
The world is getting more and more complicated.
And don’t forget that today, in the era of the monster corporations, tightly blocked by monopolists and AI internet, independent creators need support and cohesion especially urgently today.
