It's the AI that's getting my attention. A quote from Forbes "A lot of people don’t realize this, but a lot of the news stories you read now are increasingly written by artificial intelligence." All the sharp kids I know are working on AI projects. The first wholly written AI screen play has been written. AI poetry cannot be distinguished from prose of a human. AI developers can setup an account on this forum and have it interact with us, answer questions on trouble shooting, engage in current events, tell jokes and generally blend into the community unnoticed. Soon you will watch movies on Netflix that are AI derived stories and plots with all AI graphics with little or no human impedance. But don't worry, the graphics are getting so good they can resurrect John Wayne and Cary Grant.
Where does this leave us? What about this AI media? Does AI have a built in bias(if so who embeds it), or does it learn bias, will it be unbiased now and forever? Will it manipulate based on machine motive? After all, it's unconscious. Soon, the only thing that will distinguish us from machines will be 1) they are smarter. 2) we are conscious and have a soul.
online this - online that - it's already dinosaur tech. It's what drives it that is important now. Distributed data and AI. Basically, instant everything!
Do whatever in life makes you happy. But never ever turn your back on technology. It creeps in quick and you need to learn to dance with it!
