RE: AI Can't (at least, shouldn't) Replace Teachers if we Want to Keep our Humanity.

in Reflections22 days ago

I think we might be seeing it differently. Ai should be feared in terms of education. Of course teachers would be scraped but let’s think in terms of decentralized educational system where I human teacher would have to opt for the value for value type of scenario. I don’t think AI has that much power when it comes real human creativity without a human behind it to connect every dots. But I might be wrong tho

Sort:  

I think it's the unintended consequences I mentioned that I find most concerning rather than some hostile takeover.

Like my examples above, we replace things for the sake of convenience, and the result is the loss of things we don't notice until it's too late.

Replacing the traditional teaching methods with efficiency is going to turn schools into battery farms for dead eyes kids with no capacity to think for themselves or interact with others in a healthy way.

Teachers themselves will just lose the ability to improvise and adapt, always turning to AI to solve their issues as a point of policy, if not choice

Yes we can’t all control what happens with AI at this point. so the consequences of integrating them into almost everything is going to happen one way or the other but on a larger scale this is good for the world because now everyone has the same opportunity to learn whatever he or she wants to learn.

Either you let AI do all the thinking for you or you use it to enhance what can be created in the future is left for you. Let’s not forget that these AI only has access to past information based off human perception of the world.

I think that there is my issue, something that you perceive to be a good thing; everyone has the same opportunity to learn whatever he or she wants to learn

Everybody already acquired the same opportunities to learn when the internet became ubiquitous. The difference is using AI is emphasising efficient, productivity, output - battery farming for GDP, basically.

How about we lie down under a tree chewing on a piece of straw in our mouths as we close our eyes and listen to the trickling stream occasionally splash with the flip of a fish fin? Is that no efficient enough? Should I not be learning something?

We don't do that huckleberry thing anymore, because it's more efficient to be shoveled into a big city to produce more goods and services. Is that objectively a good thing? I'd say absolutely not.

Yes, there's an argument to quality of life in terms of illness and lifespan, but it's the cost of the more abstract things - which I think is absolutely vital - of which AI is going to be responsible for exacerbating the loss (terribly constructed sentence but hopefully you get the idea).

It's a hard concept to put into words

Somehow I get the idea. For someone who has thought AI would be a world destroyer or even be like the Terminator John Connor type of story I think we can only start trying to preach the better usage and trying not to get addictive with these things at this point.

Some people now has the terminator bots being built right now even if the world isn’t yet aware of it. Maybe if we also get bad AI we can learn to use that same knowledge to create the hood ones. Trust me the big techs won’t have the whole world in their hands with AI. Instead each individual would be more like a walking big tech. Honestly thinking about it all is wild at this moment and I agree with you— it is hard to put all of these things into words.

Agreed. I'm actually less worried about the big tech companies. We've seen with the new Trumpian leadership easily they bend and warp their principles according to the narrative. They're weak. But the weakness of the individual citizen, our complacency, is something we need to sort out!

I do enjoy a good head scratcher debate XD

The individual sure will always be his own greatest enemy. Let’s hope we don’t stay ourselves in the back with all that’s coming.

And yes, it was a nice lil debate. Something I’ve been starting to like about Hive that I can’t seem to find else where.

Have a great day ahead man.
