Never Say Never
The White Liar Returns!
I said I would never write another article on AI, that I was done with the subject. And it’s true, I am. AND in my defense, this is not so much an article as it is a long question:
The masters of AI have already lost the argument that AI would not diminish critical thinking. Early research has already proven that it does. Instead of winding in their necks, they pivoted and are now telling us that it will aid humans in asking better questions. Nice try - and yes, that is indeed sarcasm.
And here’s the CRITICAL question: What then happens when AI starts suggesting better questions that the human could ask, in place of the one’s already being asked? Where will they pivot next, once it takes away our motivation to improve on our own ability to ask better questions?
As always I will finish with my AI mantra: AI is the kill switch on the human imagination, self determination and Self- Realization.

Thank you for the article. The AI advocates are squirming, but unfortunately - like every religion seeking new believers to fill the pews 'in blind faith' - they will probably succeed sufficiently to distort a large number of their followers' ability to become more fully human.
