AI can dictate our choices.
According to the historian and intellectual Yuval Noah Harari's words, AI has gained some remarkable abilities to manipulate and generate languages, whether with words, sounds or images. It can thereby, hack the operating system of our civilization. Language is the stuff almost all human culture is made of. They are cultural artifacts we created by telling stories and writing laws. Gods are not physical realities. They are cultural artifacts we created by inventing myths and writing scriptures. Money is also a cultural artifact, just a digital information in computers. So, what will happen when a non-human intelligence better than an average human at telling stories, composing melodies, drawing images etc? In ancient India, Buddhist and Hindu sages pointed out that all human lived trapped inside Maya-the world of illusion-a fiction in our own mind. The AI revolution bringing us face to face with the Maya-the illusion. If we are not careful, we might be trapped.
His views are thought provoking.
We know that human languages are formed by geography/terrain. If non-human minds are trying to manipulate these languages we will loss control on ourselves. There should be a law to regulate the AI systems. I just read news today that EU lawmakers are adopted a key text forming the basis for future law to regulate AI. Immediate requirement is AI systems such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc., should inform users that machine, not human, is produced the content.
