I really do see the issue with AI. I see people around me outsource thinking to it too much. Like literally. As if they are happy that a machine can make their life choices for them. This is extremely worrying It's About how people use it
Thinking is hard and ppl would prefer to feel, instead. When you just have to vibe with your AI that thinks for you, ppl will absolutely use it and disempower themselves under the illusion of empowerment. They will infantilize themselves and end up being treated like the children they want to be.
I always thought recommendation algorithm will do it but the progress stopped at some point. We had apps recommending videos, music, feeds, news and so on for a long time but it never evolved into recommended careers or recommended places to live. Not in the sense where some algorithms that tracks you all the times tells you what your next important life choice should be. I don't know anyone who's using AI like that yet but I can see it happening in the future.
