Emeritus Prof Christopher May on Nostr: Reflecting on Gillian Tett's piece in FT Life & Arts on #artificialintelligence & ...
Reflecting on Gillian Tett's piece in FT Life & Arts on #artificialintelligence & #comedy and the 'training' of #chatbots to be comedians, leads me to draw the (not original, I'm sure) conclusion that #AI is a misanthropic #technology; its parasitic on human knowledge with the explicit aim of replacing human intellectual activity...
Without wishing to be (overly) alarmist, are we heading towards the dystopia of Vonnegut's Player Paino, unless we take evasive action (and fast)??
