I hadn’t realised how many active researchers would be reporting on their AI interactions. We are collectively discovering new news about a range of things.
If you were wondering if AI will make you:
a) more productive (and dependent);
b) more creative (and derivative);
c) more intimate (and less tolerant);
d) more intuitive (and less resilient),
the answer is Yes.
At the Centre for Humanity Learning (~ apitholo) our concern (and obligation) is somewhat different. We are less involved with what humans will do with AI (i.e. great things!), being more concerned with what that learning will do to humanity capacities (i.e. more than the individual or organisational).
We have been running an AI-Humanity inquiry for a while now, which is reported on over where people compile and pile their wisdoms these days (https://apitholo.substack.com). It’s called The Neon God. We are just now getting to the interesting bit.
Topics include:
· AI – Anthropomorphising
· AI – Humanity Development Gap
· AI – Human Atrophication
· AI – Humanity Co-Flourishing
· AI – Median Mind Editing
· AI – Humanist Privileging
· AI – Persona Attribution
· AI – Origin Fabrication
· AI – Human Encompassment
· AI – Humanity Enablements
· AI – Psycho-dependencies
· AI – Transitional Priorities
· etc.
This is not a report of what we have found. This is a ‘reporting on’ while we are collectively ‘going to’. It holds a view to the psychohistory of what happened in our humanity psychology. Many of those factors don’t have names yet.
I only wished to let you know, that someone who cares, is thinking about this.
If you are involved in AI ethics (at the largest of scales) – we should talk.
