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.

  • Yes I think people are, they've got used to being told what to think by schools etc without ever being taught how to think critiically and question sources. I think Ai offers a lifetime of being spoonfed bits of information in bite size pieces. Whenever I look for something online and an Ai explaination pops up, it's told to eff off, I don't want it, I didn't ask for it, I asked for information or a site, I want what I asked for, why is that so difficult?

    I'd love to see AI responding to that [laughing]. I think before long they'll be in our cars, supermarket aisles and other public places, criticising our driving, shopping habits, how we eat and how we dress - like nightmare mothers and fathers.

    I don't have any voice access thingy on my pooters so it can't hear me or talk to me, if it could understand me, I'd want to not to give me digests of everything I ask, but to wait to be asked for help, otherwise it's no better than an annoyiing toddler pulling at your sleeve, demanding attention.
