THE GROWTH OF AI WILL BRING WITH IT AN INEVITABLE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS FOR MANKIND

As technology advancements transcends all borders no ideological religious or political beliefs are likely to survive intact.

If you were asked to describe the course of mankind since he walked out of Africa it would take an awful long time.

No matter who you might describe it mankind has with ever advancement wanked his life away either by killing or material greed, void of mutual respect, values, till all that left is the toilet paper of social media run by algorithms.

To dust you shall return will eventually come true.

AI is now contagious and will destroy any hope no matter what form it takes. This is the existential crisis, because without hope there will only be a cul de sac of AI improving AI.

AI is capable of extinguishing hope, replacing it with hopefulness.

Yes Artificial Intelligence might will help to revert Co2 emissions, discover new drugs, make millions of boring jobs redundant, but people have an inherent dignity that must be regarded and respected not replaced by AI.

To handle the seemingly infinite permutations of experience, AI calculate transaction on a cause-and-effect chain, nothing is done for its own sake.

However an end is desired for its own sake.

It is the defining motivating factor of our decision and behaviours.

If AI is allowed to slip out of control to become our autonomous rulers of our very existence.

Honestly has to be an end not a means to some other end.

This is why AI will never be able impart the virtue of hope, which is a transactional bargain between one’s current actions and some imagined pleasant future.

The AI world will not cater to whims which is going to be painful to learn as the only things in life of real value and meaning are achieved without conditions, without transaction, without Social Media, without Shopping Malls loyalty Cards.

Bargaining is a never-ending treadmill, no longer a debate of communism v capitalism but equality v AI the paradox of progress which is never stable.

You cannot treat humanity merely as a means but as an end itself. This is why AI will fail to bring hope as it will not be able to make any co-decision.

In what we call the develop world, we are not living in a crisis of wealth or materialism but a crisis of safe spaces, as AI is a time bomb no longer waiting to explode, and the more we perceive threats, where there are none the more paranoid we become, and this is at the heart of the paradox of progress.

The smartphone screen is everywhere. It affects all perceptions and judgments.

It was not until the age of science and technology that happiness became a thing.

The world can be better than this fucked up thing we wake up to every day.
