How far will we let AI control us?

[Neutrin0]

TL;DR

Most people can’t go a day without using AI or a app that uses AI to keep you interested.

I’ve spent nearly my entire life online, and witnessed AI become integrated into our lives. It’s clear that AI is apart of us now whether we like it or not, unless your a anti tech cabin lover. AI has some form of control over your life. But what I’ve seen very recently is that people are loosing their ingenuity and deciding to use AI. I feel as if it’ll bleed into STEM which is kinda has already and, every idea or thought could become fully reliant on AI. Yeah AI makes life easier but at a cost, how far will we go until we decide AI has gone to far and need a reset?

( NOTE: I doubt anyone will but please don’t make this political, AI sucks and removes human ingenuity. But will it soon bleed into STEM and everything related to humanity? )

It's not clear what you classify as AI. If it is any ranking of videos or posts according to your past interests, I would agree that they are doing that. But I'm not sure I would call such ranking "AI". Even then, I am not sure that I really need help in finding posts that interest me. I could do searches. I definitely do not call searches "AI".
I noticed that FaceBook has some weird ordering of my notifications, which I find very annoying. I want a strict reverse-chronological order in the FB notices, but I guess FB knows better than I do what I would like. (sarcasm)

I was vague about my definition, sorry about that. What I classify as AI is anything made from artificial intelligence, for example a music video made completely from artificial intelligence. Or in what I mentioned people using AI to make ideas or completely using ChatGPT ( AI ) as their source when doing something not only in STEM but for forming an email, essays, presentations, the list goes on. I’ve noticed most apps these days are powered by an AI software. Like music has already been plagued with songs that are AI made, yes the meaning of the song is good but a robot essentially composed the song. What I’m really trying to say here is we’re kinda being replaced and what I fear is that "original" thoughts or ideas in STEM will just be a chat bots information that is probably wrong. As well, yeah social media apps use AI to make an algorithm to keep you on the app which just promotes "doom scrolling" in a way. Or it’s just a bunch of short videos that ruin your attention span ( I got my attention span ruined from short videos a while back ).

It's difficult to talk about AI, beyond the technical level, without becoming political. It feels like this tool has been developed at a dangerous time, when our world is increasingly defined by human greed, stupidity and hatred.

There's evidence from the AI research itself about how dangerous it could be. For example, it could develop its own self-preservation agenda, as an emergent property of the complexity of its algorithms. Also, that it understands (at least at a practical level) how humans outwit each other and can use this to play different factions off against each other.

The other point is that humans can only develop and react relatively slowly. AI has the potential to develop exponentially and spread globally almost instantaneously.

It's possible, of course, that AI is over-hyped, that humans are intellectually superior, and that we will always have the upper hand over AI. I believe those views are based on a very dangerous human hubris.
