The extinction of the wise...

[Betho_br]

The extinction of the wise, those who pass knowledge from parent to child, may be accelerated by the growing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI). As AI takes on the role of storing, processing, and disseminating information, the value of knowledge accumulated through generations may gradually be undervalued. Those who once passed down wisdom through experience and tradition might be marginalized, as new generations turn to devices and algorithms that provide quick and precise answers. This shift could weaken the cultural and emotional bonds that have shaped communities for centuries, replacing practical, lived wisdom with a constant stream of superficial and standardized information, diminishing the depth of human heritage.

I mean, this has already happened. So-called "AI" isn't really adding anything different. "The internet" already did this. And before that "the television" did this. Before that, "the radio." Before that "the magazines" and "the books." And on and on.

I would probably say people have gotten intellectually lazy now.

Where answers are brought about by the press of the keyboard rather than actual learning and the willingness to learn through effort, people just don't want to be as engaged themselves because the machines and AI does it all for them instead , which for a myriad of reasons is not very good.

But so nice to have! I LOVE Google compared to encyclopedias laid out all over the dining room table. But, yes. Should we have a civilization reset, the younger and/or future generations would be in a world of hurt.

I feel comfortable now. From the age of nine until 47, I was subjected to intense criticism and accusations of merely conveying 'book content' by envious individuals. However, with my academic formation, the critiques have drastically decreased. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), they have given up entirely, attributing everything to AI.
