AI & Our Future

ChatGPT's Perspective: The future with technology and AI will likely be a mix of positive and negative outcomes. On the positive side, advancements in technology and AI have the potential to significantly improve our lives in many areas, such as healthcare, education, transportation, and communication. AI-powered machines and robots may help us automate repetitive and dangerous tasks, freeing us to focus on more meaningful work. AI-powered systems can also help us make better decisions by providing more accurate and up-to-date information.

On the negative side, there are concerns that the increasing use of technology and AI may lead to job loss and economic inequality. It could also raise ethical issues such as privacy, security, and bias in AI. Additionally, the increasing use of automation could decrease human interaction and social skills and expose us to the dangers of AI-based cyberattacks.

Overall, the future of technology and AI is complex and depends on how we choose to use it. We must thoughtfully consider the potential consequences of our actions and actively work towards creating a future that is beneficial for everyone.

My Perspective: No one knows, but here is my guess. Our future is still human until it's not. Will the economy change? Sure, it has been changing for a while now. Will technology change how we work? Sure, that can be both good and bad. Will information become even more accessible? Yes, faster, yes? Will the way we educate change? God, I hope so. We are due to make school more relevant to real life. Will we have to deal with the positive and negative consequences of change? Yes. 

This brings me to my point. Everything will still be very much human. We humans will still desire to love and be loved by other humans. We will desire purpose in our lives and friendship. We will still deal with anxiety, struggle to keep up with change and be easily influenced. We still need to pursue a healthy lifestyle, learn, ask questions, and argue. 

There will still be marriage and divorce. We will still have kids and do our best to parent them. Homelessness will still exist, and so will pain and death. We will still laugh, cry, play sports, buy clothes, create new things, and deal with sickness. 

I love technology and new things. But in most cases, our future is still the same. It's human. We will continue to deal with all the same human things. In some ways, we don't have a choice. Technology cannot eliminate these things. Let's hope we make good choices in the areas where we have options.
