Help Lifeguard! Can We Control AI Before We Drown in It?
Not too long ago, we saw GPT-3's ability to complete our thoughts. Then many started using ChatGPT for emails and reports and who knows what’s next?
Now some human minds are even starting to outsource their thinking process.
What is the canary in the cognitive coal mine telling us now that we’ve entered the Age of AI?
Planetary Lifeguard says not to worry but is warning us to be careful and to take control over AI before it takes control over all us humans.
He says we’re to view AI as not just another component or helpful aide, but one having intoxicating capability with its sleek, super serendipitous, surreal technological power.
Though still just a collection of chips, AI is designed to be more sublimely of service to our daily needs while conveying us infinitely further, and supersonically faster!
We must see AI not just as a complement, but an extension, an enhancement that expands our human judgement, but hopefully won’t replace what’s so deeply burrowed inside of us, our human and moral compass, that innate awareness gifted to us from on high.
Planetary Lifeguard urges us to maintain a thoughtful, critical and questioning mindset, by which to leverage AI’s sweeping capabilities and create more powerful, penetrating and perceptive outcomes than either we humans or the technologies we create could achieve alone, just as electric cars now make us go faster without crippling our environment.
No, Mr. President-elect, climate change is no hoax. For the facts, you can consult PlanetaryLifeguard.com.
After reading the discussion Pascal Bornet, the award-winning AI & automation expert, had with leadership expert Mike Figliuolo the other day, it became striking clear to me that the future of critical thinking may only need AI as a super advanced technological crutch to take us further ahead productively. So let us not forget it’s a crutch, albeit an awesome one.
So, we can forget about ourselves as competitors of AI, but as acquirers of its capabilities enabling us to ascend to new peaks of wisdom, ethical judgment, contextual perception and deeper understanding.
These are qualities which will only make us humans even more irreplaceable as we pass through and adapt to yet another age, this one the most awesome yet, the age of AI.
