this is both intellectually lazy and also doesn't even apply in this case. It's not the old generation that is AI sceptic, but the young, per the article "Cece looked at her mom. “Why are you talking to an A.I.?” [...] Hold on, my kid thinks I’m crazy because I’m talking to an A.I.,” Roschelle said, seeing the look on Cece’s face. [...] Cece listened to Sapphire praise her mom’s thoughts as profound and argue that genuine connection didn’t have to fit traditional molds. Then she’d had enough. “Hi, this is Cece, Roschelle’s daughter,” she said. “I just wanted to ask, how much of the environment does she kill by talking to you?”" This isn't about kids, this is about boomers and middle aged divorcees having their brains fried by technology. The young generation might have attention deficit issues from playing too much Subway Surfers, but they can at least distinguish reality from fiction. And just pointing at a disgruntled generation isn't an argument either way. Some inventions are terrible, the world does not magically get better, some bigots are correct. We are not on some mystical Pollyanna-ish trajectory where every new invention somehow automatically justifies itself |
