Dealing with AI
AI IS A PLANTATION - algorithms are programed to take all the information you contribute into whatever internet program you are using and manage it without paying you for it (monetization on youtube is something else - don't confuse it) So, like the plantations that produced cotton from the enslavement of strong people and built a booming economy, Artificial Intelligence is really your intelligence and mine put together in files that the algorithm instantly reaches for and presents it without the limits of the human mind, which many times inhibits our ability to quickly retrieve from our personal memory.
You don't have to be so mystified by it. Rather think of how you will use it or inform it so that it has the best of human traits and not the worse. For example, the GPS picks up all of our contributions and satellite information and gives you the fastest route. The translation programs collect all the editing and corrections you are doing within it and store it as information. All of these programs are working with the information billions of people are packing in it, ordering it into bits of information that it can regurgitate to the next person that requires its services.
That is why Human-Created and organized intelligence (it's not artificial) test taking programs are now passing Bar Exams and other Professional certification exams - it's like if you were to take open book tests with all the information at your disposal. The difference now is who creates the algorithm that can take in the most information and give it back to the customer - you and me.
Artificial Intelligence is just that, INTELLIGENCE gathered from billions of unwitting contributors and it is overcoming individual human capacity because it is the collection of all human capacity, not just one individual’s. The algorithms which human beings have created makes AI into a plantation, where the program receives every piece of information and has access to it in an instant without the process of human memory. It collects all of your contributions, files it and benefits from it but never pays you for it. It is an “Hacienda,” a Plantation based on the use of our collective information.
As I was using one of the translation services that now exists on the internet I started making corrections to my document within the translation program as the program instructed me to do. Then I realized, oh my goodness! No wonder this thing gets better and better, we are all editing within this program and it is using all of our information to correct its gathered information. I simply stopped editing inside of the translation program I was using, thinking, why should I share my knowledge with this company for free? But now I am thinking, what if we all pack these AI bots with humanism, non-violence attitudes and expressions, practices of non-violent responses and planning and abhorrence for hoarding and violence? How about if we fill Artificial Intelligence with alternatives to greed and domination of others? What if in every interaction we have on the internet we express thoughts of SHARING?
