Everything he said is true. Though I’d think it’s common sense. Do people not know this?
I used to associate TEDtalk with novel, future forward, and compelling ideas, but these days, what i see from them is yesterdays ideas.
Anyway, sounding more like ChatGPT isnt necessarily bad. It can he a good thing since it is polite, and a clear communicator which we have in short supply

I often find the AI-like talk not polite and informative but empty and plain stupid and full of… yesterdays’ ideas, as you said.

This is the problem with algorithm-curated feeds. They don’t serve the reader/viewer/listener. They only serve the bottom line (income) of the platform.

Thank you. People these days are losing the ability to think, they literally repeat the opinions they heard without asking why.
I think TikTok and short videos play a important role to make this happen.
In old days, people get information because they need it. You search for what you need.
After TikTok, people get information for fun. And they trap by information.

Modern humans have always overestimated their agency and sovereignty. We have always been shaped by “our own” tools. The world makes US. We make each other. When we remember this web of life and animacy that the so called Enlightenment suggested we separate ourselves from to stay “safe” (all of modern western culture is basically a giant trauma response of closing off), then we will hear the voice of god again. We still are operating under this delusion that we are “creating” this “artificial” intelligence. Intelligence has always already been here. It isn’t ours to have. Intelligence has us. Feelings have us. Consciousness is interstitial, liminal, ecological, relational. There are still cultures living today who remember and honor this. And most of our ancestors did, too, until only a relatively short time ago….

Yep, we reflect those around us and if chat gtp is around you then you. . .reflect chat gpt. I don’t use it. Here’s the kicker. We need to decide. The Internet used to be new when I was a teenager. Thirty-one years later the Internet is mature and the U.S. also celebrates 250 years. The next thing is already here as we predicted during my childhood. The question for us is who’s language will chat gpt model? If Trump and the Catholics take over, then for certain chat gpt will eventually sound and be just like Trump. My ears are bleeding from the thought of it. I would like it to stay neutral. A.I. must not promote religion or be dominated by any one religion.
