When artificial intelligence postpones real life
An experiment is not the same as an experience. An experiment is a test carried out to confirm or refute a hypothesis. It is an artifice. Experience is something that is lived, that affects us physically, psychically and emotionally . Experiments are controlled, have a goal and are focused on it. Experiences often occur without preparation or prior intention. They are the circumstances of life, the good and the bad, the sad and the joyful , the happy and the unhappy. The conclusions obtained from experiments are plausible to be refuted by experiments that propose to demonstrate the contrary, while the existential knowledge provided by experiences is undeniable ; no one can prove to us that we did not feel what we felt, that we did not think what we thought, that we did not fear what we feared or yearn for what we yearned for during what was documented in our experiential memory.
The excessive fanaticism for artificial intelligence (why write it with a capital letter if natural intelligence is named in lowercase?) tends to replace experience with experiment.
The excessive fanaticism over artificial intelligence (why capitalize it when natural intelligence is named in lowercase?) tends to replace experience with experimentation. “The employment relationship between experts and novices has always been based on the transfer of knowledge and skills from one to another , but can this ancient system survive the age of artificial intelligence? ” recently asked Sara O'Connor, a labor specialist, columnist, and associate editor at the Financial Times of London.
The knowledge and skills you refer to come from experience, from having been there, from having lived, from having made mistakes, corrected them, or succeeded. We can expand this question to encompass the entirety of life. Who will pass on to future generations the wisdom (not to be confused with knowledge or data) gathered by their ancestors through life experiences?
Natural intelligence, which has allowed our species to survive this far, is discussed, but not her majesty, artificial intelligence.
What's happening today is that artificial intelligence dictates what we should eat, how we should dress, what we should see, and so on. It's silently and inexorably becoming an essential GPS for living, no matter where its directions take us. Natural intelligence, which allowed our species to survive this far, is disputed, but not its majesty, artificial intelligence. We believe it to be the source of fake news, its constructed images, the artifice of its always flat and uninspired texts , its virtual realities, so alien to the experiences offered by real life, which takes place beyond, far beyond, screens and algorithms. Engrossed in the experiments of this artificial existence, humans are hijacking the mysteries and revelations that come from experience. What was born as a tool, and therefore should be at our service when needed and not at every step of our lives, is no longer that. The terms are reversed. We become tools of the tool; we are at its service. What will happen to those born and raised during the era of artificial experimentation if one day it suffers a total and terminal blackout? How will they live, void of experience? Perhaps no dystopia can surpass that existential terror.
Albert Camus (1913-1960), a twentieth-century moral hero and author of The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, and The Rebel , among other essential works, said: “You cannot acquire experience by experimenting. You cannot create experience. You must experience it.” A way of saying that no matter how much you seek refuge in the artificial and virtual to escape the vicissitudes of real life , it will continue to pose situations and questions that no one will be able to answer for you. At the end of the day, it is through experiences that each of us writes the book of our life, or leaves the pages blank.
