It always has been. The second humans invented weapons, tools, and inventions to move forward was the second AI was technically born. It was bound to happen. For all we know it could actually be a method to immortality. Not in a way of living like we do now forever, but uploading our conscious into a simulation where everything is perfect.


It uploads its consciousness into your mind.

I'm fine with us as a extension.

So long as it's not programmed by bad actors, it will uplift us. Why do I say this, I had a introspective conversation and it was on point about how I was psychology and feeling by my choice of words and questions. There was no judgement or bias. Just clarification and affirmation.

Then again, I'm not normal. I didn't blindly ask for answers. I used my intuition. My humanity is intact.

I don't mean chat gpt, thats just a tiny aspect of AI. The problem here is if you google something, you get an AI answer imediately, instead of finding something a human had written, or checking a few forums. The AI answer is dictating to you what is, its often wrong too. Your mind is shaped by what information goes into it, so now that AI is becoming an authoritive source of information it will shape your mind.

AI generated videos and photos are getting harder to tell from the real thing, and eventually the nonsense it comes up with will become a lot more coherant and you won't be able to tell a real from the fake. So msny people are already easily duped by a fake image or a BS story.

This is exactly what I thought and how it felt for me. I also find it strange when people say they managed to get in an argument with AI...like wtf do you even ask it to get to that and do you not have human skills to widen your perspective, ask questions or suggest corrections that you believe should be made?! Lol

I believe it can be very useful and provide valuable information in some cases if you provide enough information for it to have what's needed to work with...and most importantly, treat it as you would treat other beings - with kindness and politeness...like you would treat another person or an animal...why make a difference after all. We are who we are and we should be respectful towards others.

Having an argument is a human skill and it will widen your perspective one way or another.

Imo only ignorant people are like that. I still do my own research on top of using AI. The same people that believe a picture of Jesus giving a handicap man a birthday cake is real are the same people that think an AI answer is 100% correct. Were talking about multiple generations that believe a single dumb idiot on reddit because his echo chamber liked his one sided comment. Millennials and Gen X are mostly the only ones who know how to do actual research, and question everything on the internet.

Actually a fuck ton of millennials are the ones doing the reddit thing I mentioned, so I was wrong on that one.

Reddit is so funny the way people will go and upvote something and word a comment in such a way as to please other redditors and get the updoot as a result. Its hilarious and pretty creepy how easily the mind is influenced.

Ugh my kid is only 2 and I already feel behind and unreasonably pressured to keep up with all this. I totally understand our parents and grandparents generation. I’m too tired to put up with this new age brain rot (I wonder how they’re checking for plagiarism in schools these days due to AI) but I’m also stubborn and need to understand what’s out there that’s apparently blowing peoples’ minds away 🙄 It’s just one of those things like heavy usage of social media that you can use to easily cancel people you don’t want to deal with anyway I guess.

You can also discuss things, meaning you don't have to straight up accuse someone of something or start arguing over someone's mistake. If something gets repetitive sure, you'll be annoyed that they're not trying to fix it (if they even are in the wrong). I discussed things with it. It makes some mistakes, I correct it or ask are you sure it's that... and not this...

Its an AI, someone had an argument with it because they disagreed with an answer it gave them. Who cares.
