There is clearly a lack of information about AI, its development so far, its possibilities, etc. in the mainstream media. Of course, specialists deal with this. But “ordinary” users simply use everything that comes onto the market - without questioning it. Your picture with the cat is wonderful and you made your sister (and also me) very happy. However, the same technology can also be used for forgeries and thus criminal defamation. Who can control that?
Many technological advancements have made people's lives easier. Others have put it at risk of death.
In recent years, the concepts of transhumanism and posthumanism have become central topics of discussion in the fields of technology, ethics and philosophy. I find the positions of the transhumanists really frightening... Their visions remind me of the "Borg" who haunt space in their cubes ;)
Therefore, I think in the field of AI we should first THINK and then GO ON. We have to be clear about what we really want as humanity. This is very serious... May AI decide about life and death (in medicine)? May AI decide whether someone gets a loan or not? May AI decide over ones promotion? The human intelligence, our decision-making etc. is very much connected with our emotions, with our bodies. AI is a machine with parameters and algorhythms... I don't want algorhythms to decide over my life.
A big topic. Thank you for opening the discussion. I hope that people will take it to deal more seriously with this topic, to inform themselves instead of blind consumerism.

Wow; I couldn’t agree more. It’ll depend on how each and every person uses this tech.
Transhumanism as a concept has been a hot topic of discussion. People like Elon want to go with Neuralink and a brain implant to achieve this.
Others simply focus on small tasks.
We’ll see what happens in ten years or so.
Looking forward to reading your articles, Konstanza!! You have your first reader right here.
