Unsettling

[michaelboy]

While I do enjoy the convenience and expediency afforded by AI, I'm often skeptical of any presented results. Scattered throughout social media are false representations which, are often purported to be genuine. I can't count the number of elaborate overly-decorated log cabins set in unrealistic winter snow scenes I've seen. Another is the better-than-possible wood sculpture of the "artist's" parents sitting together on a park bench along with a statement that the creator deserves our deepest praise for his extraordinary talent. Or who hasn't seen an archeological dig that exposes a larger than life humanoid skeleton with attached wings.



The most unsettling part of all of this isn't as much the presentations as it is the blind belief often offered and affirmed in the commentary.

Star Trek (every single series and all the movies) are absolutely my comfort watch. I also am presently wearing an early 90's Star Trek TNG shirt at this very moment. LOL As for Ai while I want to agree, I think we as a species aren't ready for it. There is still too much greed are far too much imbalance. Also, I have watched far too much scifi to not feel... worried. Terminator, Battlestar Galactica, etc. have given me a healthy dose of trepidation when it comes to how we work when Ai is introduced. I know that sounds so silly, but the worry persists regardless.
