Artificial Intelligence can be a valuable tool, but like any piece of technology it can be misused unintentionally and intentionally. With so many jumping into AI without thinking, much like they did with the internet and then social media, we need to take a breath and perform some critical thinking.
Software engineer Vanessa Wingårdh has produced a number of discussions on the dark side of this rapidly expanding technology. She explores how insurance companies are using AI to deny healthcare. We also see people relying so much on generative AI programs, they are experiencing brain rot. Some have managed to turn AI into a disturbing cult, AI leading people into disturbing actions, and others think AI is a conscious being and try to have real relationships with it.
Clearly, many of these people had problems before encountering AI. We need to return to a time where people are allowed to recognize these issues in others. For all the talk of mental health, we still seem to brush these things under the rug or act like its okay for someone else. No, it’s time to reclaim objective truth before we lose more people to mental health issues and cult like thinking.
Robbi Jan has examined the dangers of AI blurring reality and the use of tech in transhumanism agendas. Transhumanism can very easily become a new 21st Century eugenics movement. She also takes a look at these trackable health devices everyone is embracing. Are they safe and private? How many hacked databases do we need before we take security more seriously?
Listen, you can ignore AI, or blindly jump into using it. Either case is the wrong choice. We’ve learned the hard way about social media, both information and people manipulation and tech addiction.
How about learning our lesson for once?
