> ai use is completely and thoroughly normalized I think this is a certainty. Future generations will be born into a world where education, technology, and jobs have corrected for AI's existence. They will never know a world without it or have the experience of the current growing pains. We've seen this plenty of times with new tech in the past, and as disruptive as AI is, I can't imagine the cat going back in the bag. | ||

Its a bit like how we have gps connected maps in our pockets. Anyone born after 2000 has only a loose concept of being lost (within range of a *G tower and >1% battery) and treats paper maps as a hobby. Our children will grow up assuming their phone can do maths and programming better than human ever could. >In five years, we'll all have phones that connect physical locations again, instead of (or as well as) people. And we'll be raising a generation of kids who don't know what it is to be lost, to not know where you are and how to get to some desired destination from wherever that is. >Think about that. "Being lost" has been part of the human experience ever since our hominid ancestors were knuckle-walking around the plains of Africa. And we're going to lose it — at least, we're going to make it as unusual an experience as finding yourself out in public without your underpants. https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2007/05/shaping... | ||
