People love to hate AI, but I think it’s one of the most human inventions ever. The majority of my internal human experience already runs on autopilot.
The life-critical tasks have been outsourced to various biological systems.
My heart beats 24/7 without conscious effort, thanks to the cardiovascular system. Digestion? Handled seamlessly by another system. Breathing? Autopilot. I don’t have to remind myself to inhale and exhale. It just happens.
Even many of my own thoughts seem to appear out of nowhere—emerging from my subconscious or triggered by something around me.
Is it any wonder that, in one way or another, all human technologies strive to replicate this internal ‘automation’ in the external world?
To me, it’s a beautiful—if ultimately futile—attempt to harmonize our inner and outer realities.
In my opinion yes, unfortunately. It’ll suffer from Gartner hype cycle soon but it’ll recover and will slowly get better every year to the point it’s really good.
The worst thing is that I don’t see any “stop sign”. Like f.e. with self driving cars it was kind of obvious that it’ll get ridiculously complex in real life situations, thus having a problem with legislation and mass adoption. But with AI? I don’t know, I don’t see any stop sign … Maybe that it never reaches this high mark we all expect?
