The unenlightened will suffer

source
There seem to always be victims to everything or bait as the case may be. I can testify to this at my early stage of cryptocurrency, you know the 'buy buy buy' for it to 'grow grow grow' and you 100x or 1000x as the case may be and zoom into your financial freedom. I lost, the bucks may not be outrageous to you yet to me especially at that time meant a lot to me. When you don't really understand how things work, all you pray for is a miracle. Are miracles real? Of course yet there are some activities we get involved out of ignorance that will definitely end in futility.

blockchain tech, crypto and web3 is gradually gaining ground and little has been done about the widespread of next generation Internet and tech experience. Maybe we are waiting for it to choke us. That's why you see a lot of people with smartphones and all they know is taking photos and chatting. The other set still in that sector use them for phone calls only. They just abuse the definition of 'smart phones' and reduce it to cell phones. No offense taken, I know a lot of our parents weren't born in the tech era, nevertheless their misuse is not centered on this, it is just the ignorance of the needed bodies (governments and other influential entities) to have pushed and incorporated this into daily working. Don't you think this would have changed a lot?.

They are doing that now and are a little late, let me say 10-15 years behind schedule. Still speaking of same, just as earlier mentioned, blockchain, crypto and web3 is here and schools (a very important institution to help push this) is doing little to nothing about it. Let's forget about going to further studies to learn. Having this basic from early school will change the next decade massively. Maybe this is just me barking, who am I to tell them how to run school curriculums, something that has been in use for decades if not even a century. It's one of those things, clinging to old ways and the new generation suffers the fate. Tech is becoming a rapid environment changer, even I am struggling to meet up tech trends, so you know what it will mean for a youth who is yet to even take a baby step in this industry.

That said, let's move deeper into the conversation. If you could observe, I am yet to talk of artificial intelligence (AI) which is even the center of this article. How will the masses be able to meet up AI trends when they are yet to understand the mysteries ( at least to some point) of blockchain tech, crypto and web3. This is where I am perceiving a near future in which the unenlightened will suffer the fate of AI. technology has always appeared to be a two edged sword as both ethical and unethical bodies will jump in to advantage themselves. As I earlier discussed, all the coins I purchased were all shit coins and my funds were all gone.

AI misinformation and Manipulation

I once discussed a part of this in one of my recent articles; how AI will be an opportunity for cyber-criminals to do enough damage. This is something we are already seeing and more is definitely coming. I know you may be saying developers are working on strengthening AI security to mitigate this practices. Firstly I will say, if built upon web2, it is likely to fail. Adding the other, should in case web3 adoption prevails to promote a more reliable security, there will still be victims. Why? Simple; the lack of tech knowledge will drift many to misinformation and manipulations. Haven't you heard several cases where bank users give out their banking details to fraudsters who claimed to be banking call centers? While the banks keep preaching that 'they will never send or call you for private info about your account' why then is this still rampaging the system.

I think you should get at least a glimpse of my message now. Artificial intelligence has capabilities of AI generated fake news, fraud videos, deep fakes and the rest of the likes which can deceive and also mislead many. I know you may be up-to-date, that's you. How many in every hundred understand this tech, how about in every one thousand or one million. The gap is outrageous and I see an inevitable financial loss that will precede this ignorance or lack of exposure as the case may be. You shouldn't underrate what internet criminals will do with powerful and unethical AI bots, it's easy to spread propaganda and deceitful info especially that which has to do with the financial sector.

When uninformed individuals give out details or grant file access by simple clicks on a page, there will be a no going back scenario. We are talking of AI speed and efficiency here, nano seconds is more than enough to do unending damage. I only wish this tech will be used for positive purposes alone but just I will always say, 'humans spoil things' and they've become so good at this. There is a need for tech enlightenment to salvage these pending situations. There is no stopping of AI, it has positive things to put on the table, this is something I will be taking time to emphasize one after the other in different articles.

To conclude, let me add, there is a tech vacuum that needs to be filled so as to mitigate an upcoming illegal financial displacement. Many are still choosing to stay ignorant about the entire process, this is something that will bite back over time. In short, it is already and just when we think it's doing much damage, this is just a tip. In the midst of solutions lies problems, we need to take on tech advancement by trying our best to blend early. The saying 'wisdom preserves its possessor' is very true.
