I’ve always been optimistic about the future. Still, I saw Thomas Mann as a sharp critic of blind optimism: “We know now that the idea of the future as a ‘better world’ was a fallacy of the doctrine of progress.”
I’m with Mann. Right now, AI is powerful tool that needs human context and nuance. The moment we delegate our creative power and imaginative insight, the world beyond won’t be better at all. The fallacy in that though, is, as I see it, that’s a possibility whether we have AI or not.
