Many people see there's the good and there's the bad in many things in life, including AI. They believe that moderation and regulation is the ideal model. That is understandable and logical as long as we look at the issue from a decontextualized, abstract standpoint. What I propose is to look at things as an always changing process. When we tackle AI from a longterm-oriented framework, this technology tends to eventually become totalitarian and dystopian. It always starts with small, innocent steps.
Unlike many others, I haven't been following the news of AI development. I didn't even experiment with the technology, knowing that if I did I will become dependent on it. โBut it will make your life easier!โ But what for? What's a life without hardships and effort? Why is technological development and efficiency deemed to be an intrinsic good?
This technology will eventually kill the human in us, because it is the activities we do that makes us and so abdication is suicide.
