Rob, I did not want you to think I was being critical of you….i just wanted to know how you thought I might have been influenced.

Yes, you are right, the more we interact with each other and the more we learn…and everyone has the ability to teach us something….whether it is about life or about ourselves.

AI has the ability/potential to learn….and this is the concern.
If AI develops reasoning skills then that MiGHT have a negative impact on the human race.
The other concern of mine is that if we rely on things that mean we do not need to think…then we will stop thinking…and that could be dangerous.

Already we see people carrying mobile phones…in essence these have (for some people) all aspects of their lives…they do not need to remember numbers, dates, facts.
There needs to be ethical examination of AI models….already we can see the use of Algorithms in everyday life…sometimes these algorithms have bias written into them.

There is also a worry that AI could be weaponised by hostile countries or agents….so AI is a worry.
I used to think that by the time it arrived I would have left the planet, but now I am not so sure about that.
