The Technique Running Too Fast
The artist Xanthe Dobbie says to The Guardian that the legal institution can’t keep up with the Artificial Intelligence, but, as I see it, it is not just the legal institutions; it is the entire society that will suffer from the fast movement.
Even if suffering gives some meaning to life, it is not what we are looking for. We can see a lot of professions are going to disappear. It has always been a part of the development; we find a more efficient way of doing things, and we do not need the people anymore.
The pace is faster now, and as Xanthe Dobbie says, we use it the wrong way, sometimes the evil way.
We can see that we are building a society for a few people to flourish. As the painter Sam Leach says, it is about who owns AI that matters and, for the moment, it is a handful of companies that have the power.
In London, we can see ABBA as avatars on the scene in the ABBA arena. ABBA’s member are already rich, and they are probably collecting even more money through their avatars.
The technique is taking in more money for the people with an already great fortunes. This will widen the gap between the rich and the poor.
For things that make us leave the bed in the morning; might be rare in the future. The meaning and motivation to live will decrease, unless people make a revolution and log off the internet and the societal development we now just accept.
The artist Nick Cave expresses his view on ChatGPT that mimicked his work, and he finds it as “a grotesque mockery of what it is to be human”.
We can wonder if it takes the core out of being a civilized human and leave an empty body that has no purpose.
