Great quote and insight, thanks for your eloquent and poignant reflection.
I can’t help but worry that we are racing towards a new form of digital serfdom consolidating greater power in the hands of a few who yield the market dominant generative AI tools.
“Much depends on the assumption that controlling the potentially dangerous developments and effects of AI can be left to trustworthy, ethical human beings. These would of course be people not influenced by greed, power, profit or sociopathic tendencies. Which leads me in conclusion to a quote from German ethicist Immanuel Kant, who said presciently in 1784, ‘Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.’”
