It may not hold much merit, because I am a bit older, but I am completely with Elon Musk when it comes to AI. I don't see any good coming from the future pursuit of AI. I know I probably sound like a crazy old guy that is afraid of change, but as you said, we have already been dumbed down enough. There are still some things that we need to be responsible for ourselves. Likewise, with so many things being controlled by computers and networked these days the far-reaching implications are concerning to say the least. Great post!
Honestly, I don't know what Elon Musk position is when it comes to A.I. and it would have no effect on me if he were for it or against it. As I have gotten older I've learned to embrace what I see as "positive" change, not just change for the sake of change or because we have the capability to make a change.
There isn't a need for his SpaceX toy rockets in my opinion either, we don't need to be trying to get off the earth and find another planet to conquer, we haven't finished screwing up this one totally, yet. We should leave those alone and let some other life form have them.
We should be concentrating on getting back to where we should be as caring thinking people, that are at peace with one another. A. I. won't bring that about and neither will going to Mars or the Moon.But that is probably just the old man in me coming out as well.
Thanks for dropping in and the compliment, glad you liked it.
