“Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold.”
— Ray Kurzweil, a designer of electric pianos
The mechanisms of Artificial Intelligence, as they appear today, combine the ability to understand questions and find answers. Some of these answers are factual and others are expressive. But how A.I. is presented to you is mostly a scam. That’s because, as easy as it is to use A.I. tools, it’s easier to exploit people.
There are two forks on the A.I. road to progress. One is advancing function and the other is advancing profit. They are not exclusive but they do operate separately. Automation advances through the development of new technology applied to meet old needs, A.I. is no different.
Think of this as the creation of new power on one hand, and the use of existing power to exploit resources on the other. Whether or not you learn to use A.I. yourself, you are part of this equation. If you are part of the larger economy, then either you are mining A.I., or A.I. is mining you.
