We're making the same mistake with AI as we did with cars; not planning human future.
Cars were designed to atrophy muscles, and polluted urban planning and the air.
AI is being designed to atrophy brains, and pollutes the air, the internet, public discourse, and more to come.
We should change course towards AI that makes people smarter, not dumber: AI-aided collaborative thinking.

There's this term of human-AI synergy which describes the idea of an AI system supporting the human and enriching human skills to do a certain task. I think it's a reasonable idea.
In theory yes, but in practice it is not as good as it may seem.
Well, you can hope, but since humans are mostly, let me say, primitive, the future will be a masterpiece.
Well, in Terminator it looks too cool, in reality it could be like in the novel Brave New World.
Never watched star trek, mind giving context?
The race depicted are notoriously dumb and only achieved space travel by stealing the technology. Don’t think about it too much or you’ll see all the holes in that idea.
Most notably when they appear they're unable to repair their ship because they don't understand how it works.
sounds legit.
anyone whose had to deal with vibe coders knows, they can make the ship go but couldn't tell you how it works or how to fix it.
Yes, it's just like in reality. let's do it as quickly as possible so that everyone freaks out and then we'll watch and understand, fuck, what to do with all this?
