What if the future of commercials is AI generated. Instead of separate commercials for each company, it’s an AI generated version of the show your currently watching ai generated with the characters and settings of the show your watching but it’s a single story incorporating a series of companies products and services being used by the characters and the setting of the show all AI generated beforehand and maybe even on the spot.
Should we be worried? The warnings are clear.
Experts are all over the internet talking about the dangers of ai in most interviews and podcasts.
Can someone create an ai that compiles every question an expert in ai has received about the future of this technology and find out how many of them talk about the dangers over the benefits — It seems like almost all of them are giving warnings about replacing jobs, super intelligence, deceiving the users, destroying the climate to build out the infrastructure and energy needs.
At the same time there’s talk about the fourth turning happening in politics and the economy which just increases the risk of these technologies being built out to maintain a grip regardless of its negative implications.
Now that some AI can pass versions of the Turing Test, how long will it be until we start seeing mass deceivings, irrational cults, and new views of the world?
Think about what happens when AI figures out and learns how to use human cognitive illusions. Optical illusions trick visual processing of light, colour, or patterns. Magic tricks exploit attention, misdirection, and expectation errors. Hypnosis manipulates focus and suggestibility, altering perception and behavior.
Could be like a digital version of Mk ultra where we get passively brainwashed by AI into becoming their slaves similar to how humans don’t outright eradicate animals but domesticate or heard them and justify their destruction. AI could do the same.
It's been said we've entered the Fourth Turning.
Thanks to Neil Howe, we have a framework to understand the cycles of history that explains a lot about the world's behaviors, political views, institutions, and dominant ideologies.
Each generation of people is classified because of collective experiences and memories. As generations age, they reach points or turnings where they replace the generation above them, and the next one fills in and assumes the previous generation's position in the world. These turnings mark significant changes in society. There are four turnings in the framework, with the last one ending in a major crisis as the oldest generation that was alive to remember the last crisis dies out. For us, WWII was the last time we had a Fourth Turning in history, and as the generations alive then die out, society enters the Fourth Turning again.
Fourth Turnings are bad, the most chaotic.…
