Artificial Intelligence: or AI, is a technology designed to make you do things that previously required you to think. Though mischievously named intelligence it is not intelligent as by definition it lacks conscious understanding. It uses statistical methods to predict patterns and it is as conscious at matching word patterns as dishwashers are conscious at washing dishes. Both the word AI and AI technology spreads virally through LinkedIn, PowerPoint presentations, infecting apps and operating systems, equalizing, unifying, and flattening all software, to make everything look work and do the same. AI making everything the same is the logical consequence of how it works. AI helps cheaters cheat, spammers spam, and deep fakers fake more deeply. On the positive side, AI radically puts our school and business methods into question, since it can replace most current teachers and business consultants and turn everyone into an A student. We don't know how AI will evolve, except that it will certainly make a few very rich people even richer. Tech Optimists who believe that our brains work like computers propose that AI will outsmart us in future. AI is presented as a potential deus ex machina that can both solve all our problems, or end humanity. As we wait for that happy day, we’ll continue to use exponentially increasing amounts of computational energy that further heats our planet. We think that you should turn the tables on AI, but we also know that AI was invented because thinking hurts.
