AI - are we losing our brain capacity for independent research?

Marianne72

I find myself regularly asking AI, instead of doing research myself. Is this another dangerous step - not stretching our brain capacity but relying on ever powerful AI. Before long, surely AI will be programmed to become sentient or designed for warfare by persons of mal intent. On the other hand, I think of the film, 'Silent Running.' We are destroying our planet - I like the idea of a robot Dewey caring for plants when humans are no longer around.

  • The function of Technology is to serve Mankind, not the other way round.

    Unfortunately, too many bigwigs view us as 'lesser thans'. So they make us more trustworthy of Machines than People, taking advantage of the sense of isolation Kids and Young Adults have.

    Back in the era of Synthpop, Technology wasn't so frightening. In fact, Pete Shelley - from The Buzzcocks - had a Synthpop single 'Homosapien' in 1981. We may have used technology, but kept the sense of humanity. Now, there is actually a track called 'Transhuman'. The lunatics took over the Asylum.

    Advertising is now making us work for companies through our devices everytime we look. It started with physical branding, people see an apple logo they want one - next thing you know you are selling phones for the company through subliminal marketing.
