I completely resonate with your preference for face-to-face interactions.
AI technologies is definitely playing an increasing role for the modern era but it's crucial to recognize the unique qualities of human interaction. The empathy, understanding, and emotional connection that come with face-to-face conversations are hard to replicate digitally.
People talk about AI being the way forward but I disagree, people get swept up in the moment though, and often it's not until it's too late they realise their error. There's many cases of that in history.
Example: The use of Thalidomide in the 1950's as a morning sickness preventative for pregnant women. Didn't go well.
People will say, "this is different though," and only time will tell.
Your perspective on AI is thought-provoking. It's true, history is dotted with instances where enthusiasm led to unforeseen consequences. The Thalidomide example is a good reminder although I didn't know about it till you said so.
It's crucial to approach advancements cautiously. Time will indeed unveil the true impact.
People go all in because on the surface it seems good. It's often far too late when the realisation comes that it's not always, and rarely is, all good.
Well, I really worry about the prophecy of Stephen Hawking as machines could one day take charge and might be the end of human race.
Yeah, it's something most should be concerned and mindful of, but most are not. Humanities' drive to find easier ways to do things and easier lives will cause its own demise ultimately...like automating jobs and out-sourcing to machines/robots and AI.
That's the bitter truth.
