I'm one of the weird ones....
Maybe it's because I watched one too many science fiction movies growing up, but the absolute drooling that people are doing over AI...I just don't get it.
Can it be a huge benefit for humanity?
Absolutely. But here's what scares me....Anything created for good, humans usually find a way to destroy the positives. And this post isn't about the future of AI, or anything like it...
Mainly because, the only AI I've willingly used in my lifetime is whatever is being built here on $LEO And to be honest, I still have no idea what it's supposed to do or be lol
Ignorance is bliss...Maybe?
But I was reminded of why I don't think everything created for good, turns out that way...
Let me explain:
I was driving home tonight with my mom and my son. It was getting late so we decided to stop at a Dairy Queen for some food. A quick bite, it wasn't bad actually :)
But then continuing our drive home I remembered there was a restaurant I really enjoyed right around the corner. I literally said out loud to my mom....
"We should have gone to Triple O's. That's some of the best fast food I've had in a while..."
We didn't go. We drove past it. We didn't mention or think about it again...
I get home, and poked around on Instagram later that evening and guess what shows up as a 'sponsored ad'...
I mean, this isn't any kind of revelation...We know Meta uses our phones to spy on us...But it's just scary how they listen without you knowing, to your entire conversations....Just to push their advertising to you.
What else will this mean down the road?
And people wonder why I'm super suspect about AI and how quick everyone embraces it. This is just basic tech now, spying on you, listening to your conversations....What happens when AI gets a wee bit smarter...
What will your phones be used for then?
Conspiracy theory? Maybe lol
I am just weirded out by how much control these corporations have over what we can see and be exposed to....
