I have become more amenable to the reasons why A.I. should exist.

The reasons why are as follows.

In this blog post I will try to convince readers that A.I. is helpful to humanity. Indeed, I have called out A.I. in the past. And, perhaps I will continue calling it out in certain aspects. But I find that A.I. is indeed quite helpful to humanity.

Indeed it has been said by many that A.I. poses an “existential threat.” But I will dismiss that outright. I don’t think it does. People should be more concerned with how they can use A.I. to their benefit than how A.I. poses an existential threat, in my opinion. A.I. can help people become more productive, for example.

And no, no company is paying me to say all this positive stuff about A.I. I have come to realize it myself.

Even deeper and more profoundly, I have found a very compelling reason to use A.I. I mean generative A.I. This compelling reason has to do with a book I read a few years ago about the power of asking questions. I think just this about A.I. – you can ask it literally anything you want. This of course is governed by the policies these generative A.I. companies have laid out, of course. You’re not going to ask A.I. what someone’s social security number is and expect that it is going to tell you that.

What I have found about A.I. however, more profoundly still, is that it can assist human beings in thinking more clearly. This is all deep stuff, but I find that if I ask A.I. something, and perhaps it will give me a general answer, but I will think more deeply about that subject. This is how A.I. is shaping my life during these days.

I hope to find better solutions for business problems, in other words, for my translation business, among other answers from A.I. Or better said, I hope to utilize A.I. in the future and now to generate better responses to humanistic problems. This is a radical shift from what I used to think about A.I. But I realized I was being quite cynical about it. I was a grumpy guy. But anyway, I have come to realize and learn that A.I. can be quite useful, especially in the ways I have mentioned, and I am sure it is useful to many other people in a myriad of ways.

The most intriguing thing about A.I. in my opinion is that it can literally help engineer your thinking around a certain subject. Okay, maybe that sounds too profound for now: I get it. It sounds out of this world. But A.I., if understood in the right, moral, correct way, can truly help people (mostly individuals), to think in clearer, more profound ways. And here’s how I’m going to get to the more philosophically juicy part of this entry: you can literally ask A.I. a question every day, and you will become smarter. How? Because A.I. will give you a different answer. And this simple act of prompting the A.I., this simple action, will make you think about things in a different way. I am not even talking about the A.I. “giving” you or “transmitting” information to you. That I think is hogwash. However, if you are to really think about it, and philosophically consider the implications of asking an artificial intelligence module what you are questioning most, it will most likely help you in your thought process. I have yet to prove this. It is just a thought that has been running around my head that I’d love to capture. And I think I’ve done just that in my post.
