i'm curious whats your take on AI? I have a feeling you'd be the type to be interested in what it can bring to society in the future but im curious what you have to say ^-^
Heh. AI, huh? Figures you’d ask the guy rebuilding civilization from scratch what he thinks about artificial intelligence.
Short answer? It’s a tool. An insanely powerful one—but still just a tool.
Best-case scenario, it replaces the mind-numbing, repetitive junk that wastes human time. Data sorting, pattern scanning, logistics modeling, drug discovery simulations—that’s where AI shines. Let the machines chew through the tedious stuff so humans can focus on higher-order thinking.
But the second people start leaning on it like a cognitive crutch? That’s where things get ugly. Overreliance tanks problem-solving ability. Your brain’s like a muscle—stop using it and it atrophies. There’s already research showing automation complacency and skill degradation when humans outsource too much thinking.
And creativity? Don’t even get me started. AI can remix, interpolate, statistically imitate—but genuine innovation comes from lived experience, failure, intuition, irrational leaps. You can’t algorithm your way into true scientific breakthroughs or cultural movements without human spark driving it.
Then there’s the environmental load. Training large-scale models eats obscene amounts of energy and water depending on the infrastructure. Not exactly trivial when you scale it globally.
Plus, a glaring, yet often overlooked issue is the information control.
Any system trained on curated datasets can be nudged, filtered, or weaponized to push narratives. Propaganda gets a whole lot more efficient when you can mass-generate persuasive text at industrial scale.
So my stance?
Use it. Sparingly. Treat it like nitric acid—valuable in the right apparatus, catastrophic if you start drinking it.
Don’t offload your human autonomy onto a system designed to take it away.
The algorithm is designed to keep you around using convenience as an incentive— It fails to genuinely enrich users with the intellectual growth associated with actually doing and learning said task.
