I really cringe every time I say or type AI. It feeds into a false idea that there is an intelligence in a machine. It feeds into an idea that we can just automate things. These machines are great at doing things when they have perfect information in a closed system. When we start hearing about using them to plan economies and society look out. This has been tried before. Yes, computing power has massively increase and there is more information but I believe we haven't even scratched the surface of the complexity that exists in nature and the minds of people. I believe it is folly to trust in these machines. We should use them but remain humble about their abilities and careful not to put our trust in engineers. This has happened before and it did not end well for the Russian people.
