The Reality of AI | Pt.4 | Unless this AI Takeover is stopped or ethically restricted, Humanity is on a fast track to mass stupidity and ignorance.

One of the greatest myths about education is the idea that our whole student career is about learning and retaining information.

The reality is that education at every level – whether we are at preschool or studying for a PhD – is about learning and gaining proficiency in educated method. Be that the ability to write with a pen, to do arithmetic or most importantly, how we engage in the process of learning through the research and discovery of information, and how we then process that information so that our understanding of any subject and our ability to apply that learning in a practical way has been formed.

By allowing AI into education or any life process where it is beneficial for us to learn and discern BEFORE we then understand it properly ourselves, we are effectively opening a trap door back to an unenlightened age where only those considered to be special in some way, will be automatically granted access to the magic formulas of learning that we woefully take for granted today.

The very instructions for civilised life are now in the process of being taken away by AI.

History is the greatest of tutors. It wasn’t that long ago that the only people who were educated and could read and write were the wealthy, those in the employ of the church and the landed gentry.

A return to the dark ages of ignorance is the direction that our unquestioning acceptance of AI and all related technologies will take us, without change.
