Isac Asimov perfectly predicted (in 1950) our social resistance to AI.
We are afraid of technology (we always are).
Afraid of losing jobs - to robots.
Ethical issues.
Fear of the unknown. Fear of change.
In his novels, Asimov designed and examined societies with few stupid robots, and with few very smart robots; societies that rely on massive cheap robot labour; balanced societies; as well as societies largely manipulated by robots.
He invented the concept of "iron-carbon civilization", to describe the dynamics of humans and robots/AI, how we learn to cooperate, and coexist.
This is what we witness today !
We learn what AI is, and does.
We get INCREDIBLE economic benefits.
We revolt, and resist.
We define artificial rules for what AI-generated art is, vs. "real" art.
We create AI agents to simulate exactly what we do. We bitch that AI cannot imitate us perfectly.
We detect AI-generated work, and then we train AI agents to avoid detection.
We are afraid.
We adapt.
We live in tremendous times.
[Social experiment: this post has zero-AI. Did anyone notice? Is this good, or bad?]
