Thinking about the human limits of artificial intelligence.
Jun 22 2019
Now, I don’t want to be a knee-jerk alarmist. People are so worried about artificial intelligence controlling us. I notice no one is worried about artificial legs walking all over us, or dentures biting us to death. And, listen, we’re going to need artificial intelligence as our natural intelligence rots and falls off. Which it seems to have been doing forever. You know who thought so? Seneca. Or Cicero. One of those bastards. Diogenes!
In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen thinks about artificial intelligence, and how stupid it is, and how stupid we are that we don't realize how stupid it is, and why we need to know when enough is enough, and what happens when we choose not to.
