And after enough people can no longer actually critically think, well, now this shitty AI tech does actually win the Turing Test more broadly.
Why try to clear the bar when you can just lower it instead?
… Is it fair, at this point, to legitimately refer to humans that are massively dependant on AI for basic things… can we just call them NPCs?
I am still amazed that no one knows how to get anywhere around… you know, the town or city they grew up in? Nobody can navigate without some kind of map app anymore.
Humans are irrational creatures that have transitory states where they are capable of more ordered thought. It is our mistake to reach a conclusion that humans are rational actors while we marvel daily at the irrationality of others and remain blind to our own.
Precisely. We like to think of ourselves as rational but we’re the opposite. Then we rationalize things afterwards.
Even being keenly aware of this doesn’t stop it in the slightest.
TLDR: Artificial Intelligence enhances natural stupidity.
Yep.

They were NPCs before AI was invented.

Self awareness is a rare, and valuable, state.

Probably because stopping to self analyze your decisions is a lot less effective than just running away from that lion over there.
It’s a luxury state: analysis; whether self or professionally administered on a chaise lounge at $400 per hour.
Bottom line: Lunatics gonna be lunatics, with AI or not.
TBF, that should be the conclusion in all contexts where “AI” are cconcerned.
The one thing you can say for AI is that it does many things faster than previous methods…
You mean worse?
Bad results are nothing new.
