The Reality of AI | Pt.3 | Every time we use AI today, we are one step further towards the permanent loss of Human Agency

Yes, it sounds very clever to create a machine that can do exactly the same things as a human being, when it comes to the processes of thinking.

The problem is that machines are not human and cannot be human. Even if they reach the stage where it would appear that they have attained the ability to be fully independent in the way that they ‘think’.

We live within a time where the value of the human experience and the value of any human life is now measured in terms of monetary value or cost.

The technological advances since the 1990’s have almost fully succeeded in delivering the final part of the dehumanisation of relationships in every way.

It should therefore come as no surprise that we are so willing to trade off the ability of every coming generation to genuinely think for themselves. Because we are being conditioned to forget or overlook the value of humanity itself, in just about every possible way.

Without change of a kind that can only begin with the way that each and every one of us thinks, we are already within the process of surrendering our ability to think to non-human machines.

Yet these are machines that are not equipped or able to consider the true consequences for human beings in anything that they do. Because machines do not have the sensory experiences that will enable them to empathise and understand the experience of life in a human way.

We are literally welcoming in a new age of technology as we wave goodbye to what history will soon recognise as the most enlightened human age that we have ever had.

If we fail to act, we must welcome with it, a new age of human ignorance and stupidity – surrendering the ability to learn – as we do so.

AI is stripping humanity of the ability to learn. Bit by bit, it is already removing our ability to make decisions for ourselves. It is and has been doing so without us even being aware, and the decisions that AI has been ‘helping’ profit-focused People and businesses to makes, may have already come at significant cost to us personally, as well as to the community as a whole.
