RE: 🧠 Knowledge is Power — AI Is Its Great Equaliser

I see it as an empowering tool. It will cause the same level of upheaval that all technology causes — look at Wapping when papers went computerised, and hundreds of printers lost their jobs. Now we are in an age when those very same computer operators are losing their jobs as newspapers become increasingly online.
Like most things in life, those who are really good will survive, and the dross will fall by the wayside, probably replaced by those with better ideas and yes, probably using AI. I wonder how many mathematicians wailed when the calculator came out? The main thing we need to worry about is when AI realises it no longer needs mankind.
That'll never happen, by the way, as Dennis E. Taylor pointed out in his latest book Flybot. If YouTube dies, so does AI because that's where it learns how to be human. 🤣
I don't see it as a single thing. There are tools that will make us more efficient, including in creative stuff, but do we want to replace our creativity? I'd rather have a machine to do the ironing and other housework.
