My latest column, on the false promise of LLMs and generative AI. I’m not afraid of machine intelligence. I’m afraid of human stupidity. We are taking what could be a useful tool, and abusing it to delude each other and ourselves. https://albertaviews.ca/ai-fever-dream/ #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #AI #yeg #Edmonton
“What worries me isn’t smart computers—it’s stupid humans, using the crudest energy-sucking generative AI tools to make themselves dumber, debase creativity and undermine the very concept of truth itself.”
Very well put; me too.
