No problem, I understand...you want to suggest that this is just another quantitative evolution of technology and there is no more reason to oppose it than there would have been for any other technology. Personally I see the potential in AI for the automation of decisions rather than actions, which to me is not a quantitative but a qualitative difference.

There is good evidence that we are already suffering from adopting technologies indiscriminately, just because we can and because they are more advanced technologically we assume they must be better. For example, worker productivity in industrialized nations has gone down dramatically, and continues to go down every year. The latest thinking is that this is because businesses bring in new tech which takes ages to learn, break often, last a few years before a new system comes out and its obsolete, and only offers small advantages which do not make up for all this. I am not against technology any more than I'm against food, but I think we should be more discerning in the way that we are with what we choose to eat.

The example you give seems good, but I don't see how that uses AI. I suspect that what the post is about really does use AI which does make it a different thing - but I wouldn't suggest anybody drop the AI term because most people are fine with it and cynics like me will only think you are trying to hide something. ;P
