1975 called. Apparently it wants its dystopian future back. 😂
Books replaced by computer summaries. Knowledge stored in central computer banks. Missing historical data. And a machine that has the information but won’t answer certain questions.
This scene from Rollerball is nearly 50 years old...
Nearly as old as me!! 😂
I use AI. I think it’s an extraordinary tool.
I also think the more powerful these tools become, the more important it is that WE don’t stop thinking.
Read original sources.
Read books.
Question summaries.
Look for what’s missing.
Listen to opposing arguments.
Keep exercising your own judgement.
There’s a world of difference between using technology to help you think and outsourcing your thinking to technology.
THAT distinction is only going to become more important.
Perhaps the skill we need to protect most in the age of AI isn’t our ability to access information.
It’s our ability to think for ourselves.
If you want to, use the tools sparingly.
Don’t hand them your mind.
Stay curious. Stay free.
