AI in the wild, posted on a cat subreddit. The community is torn if these are cats, slow-mo, or fakes. I don’t know how I feel about it. Leave the cat videos alone? LOL? Didn’t imagine Skynet like that.

A short story about our AI-assisted future
The WordPress.com Reader found me this story from 2023 on a site with almost no visitors. It imagines a utopia where AI does almost all the work except for some. Like Human Resources. Why is that spared? Check the story.
I don’t believe the current boom in generative AI will push us toward UBI, but it is important to imagine the threads of the future and see what we like and what we don’t so we can act accordingly.
Daily dose of AI
Finance worker pays out $25 million after video call with deepfake ‘chief financial officer’
I can foresee that the “Nigerian Prince” and “We are calling from the bank” enterprises may get fully automated, pushing ordinary criminal copywriters and call centers in impoverished areas out of business. Shall I be rooting for the humans or the AI in that area? Not sure.
Watching how this cluster of unintelligent technologies impacts us is a bit like watching the end of Fight Club in very slow motion. I keep blogging that generative AI is a form automation that by intent or accident tends to steal content and traffic from human content creators, and I hope enough others speak about it so that it’s heard. This can replace the genuine information with fakes and hallucinations, embedded with the search engines and social media.
What can we do? Blog more. Influence a regulatory change.
Blogging and writing will keep the momentum of human expression, even if it also trains the bots.
