Out in nature is the only truth. --174.249.xx.xx

Is it time to disconnect? --73.19.xxx.xx

AI is now being used in automotive. It's in your new car. It's being implemented in infrastructure that your vehicle drives in and communicates with the vehicle. --73.19.xxx.xx

6x6, I won’t buy those cars going forward. My limit is GPS and Sirius XM. Past that and I’ll buy well maintained antique vehicles (2001 and before, btw). --174.249.xx.xx

NE, Problem is finding those well maintained. That said, it will probably be worth restoring them. I plan on keeping the ones I have. I don't want to be connected. --73.19.xxx.xx

Also, NE, It's not just electric vehicles. Because the sales of electric vehicles didn't take off like expected, they are implementing this in ALL vehicles. It will be "safer" driving. --73.19.xxx.xx

The cars also talk to each other. --73.19.xxx.xx

If all this stuff is interconnected into cars, why can't the police just have a signal that shuts off cars they are chasing? Why all these 100 mph chases we see almost every night? If they can't shut a car off because they don't have the license plate, why not just shut off a 2x2 or 4x4 grid in an area and shut off all cars in the grid until they get the one fleeing? --75.7.xx.xx

Richard, it’s a possibility in the future. I want a short made that says: Analog Human. --70.44.xxx.xx

Richard, it is getting to that but would get backlash right now, so they have to slowly increment that. It is actually possible now to use a laptop computer or other device wirelessly to connect to your car and control every function. Today's cars have multiple computers that are all interconnected and also tracking devices. The insurance companies already take advantage of the recording devices that are also in your car, like a "black box" on a plane. I believe there have been some instances where vehicles have been shut down before, like in auto theft. The time is here, and the use is increasing. --73.19.xxx.xx

We deliberately keep old cars. 1997 CR-V, 2002 Rodeo, 2012 Accord. Great vehicles. And no disgusting dangerous headlights (not that we'd see them when we're driving). --71.246.xxx.xxx

Today I am inundated with advertisement for that system. --216.218.xxx.x

But.... you have never met me face to face. I could be AI as well, just a stupid model. --47.227.xx.xxx

I’m fine being left behind. I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit lately. --24.152.xxx.xx

--73.19.xxx.xx

--47.227.xx.xxx

zero, I do use it some to ask questions and/or see what kind of answers it gives, but I am not absorbing it into every aspect of my life, nor do I want it in every aspect of life period, and I most definitely do not trust it. Like I said, observation. How do you get to know your enemy? --73.19.xxx.xx

People are loosing discernment and common sense. Im keeping mine. Gift to my kids. --172.59.xxx.xxx

Food for thought as well: This very second in time, AI is the worst that it will ever be in our lifetimes. It’s only going to get exponentially more powerful as it learns. --172.58.xxx.xxx

Jason, AI is growing very rapidly. I doubt it is the worst we will ever see it? It is definitely getting more powerful, but even now. It is feeding off of us all. --73.19.xxx.xx

Makes you wonder if it's time to adopt the Amish way of life to protect you mind and body. --99.64.xx.xx

AI is not just learning everyone it is marketing and marketing to everyone. The grid is not your friend. --73.19.xxx.xx

Criminals will absolutely love and use AI. They do now. --73.19.xxx.xx

Am I dumber for using a calculator or am I smarter because it checks my work and allows me to get more done faster? --47.227.xx.xxx

Calculators are the devil --128.77.xx.xxx

If technology disappeared today, would you make it? --73.19.xxx.xx

Jason, LOL. Calculators are hardly a comparison to something like AI that is actually studying you and that will be controlling you. --73.19.xxx.xx

If the goal is to reach the stars or cure the incurable, we can't afford the luxury of the slow path. We have to outsource our memory and our mechanics to a tool that doesn't die, so that we can finally focus on the next leap for our species. As the saying goes, adapt or die. --128.77.xx.xxx

Jason, you are too smart... maybe you are the AI instead? --47.227.xx.xxx

Jason, I like that opposing view. It makes perfectly good sense what you described as to a faster path of learning and the accumulation of knowledge that is preserved. The two objecting parts of that would be the controlling nature AI will have and that AI can technically be destroyed and thus die itself. If AI were to be destroyed after years of using it then humans might really be starting from ground zero as they will not have developed any basic knowledge at all. So, where is the line in the sand? And, are you okay with such a thing as AI hovering over you and controlling your thoughts and moves? It will be in the infrastructure, vehicles and "smart" homes. --73.19.xxx.xx

Pipe dream, Jason. It will make people who are naturally lazy and stupid, lazier, and dumber. Governments will undoubtedly use it to control the masses and most likely start wars. Maybe one percent of the population will use it as you think it should be used. --174.240.xxx.xx

Also, not everyone can be sitting behind a screen. Part of life involves hands on experience in actually building and growing things. You might get the general idea from AI but won't gain the ability to actually do it. We are humans not robots. --73.19.xxx.xx

--128.77.xx.xxx

What is our species end goal? --174.240.xxx.xx

Advancement --128.77.xx.xxx

You’ve got more hope and faith in our species than I do. --174.240.xxx.xx

And survival. --73.19.xxx.xx
