I'm sure that AI is indeed a weapon of some sort. To quote a Green Ember character, "Lesson number one, everything is a weapon." The trouble is I'm not sure anyone knows which way the barrel is pointed yet. How does the country deal with that problem though, I'm not sure.

I may have mentioned this earlier here, but so far, my use of AI has been extremely limited and rudimentary. It's only been through ChatGPT so far. Mainly for help with ideas on how to format a course I'm developing for the type of independent work I do. But I purposely keep it extremely limited, and haven't used it in months.

Also, when I do use it, I make sure it's based on my own ideas. I also reword a lot of it to my liking.

I've been hearing that the overuse of AI is making people stupid, because many are no longer thinking for themselves. I can believe it. Especially among a lot of younger people who may have never had to create anything without the help of AI. It seems like many younger people don't even know how to comprehend or use written communication anymore.

And maybe that's intentional. Maybe that's how AI is being weaponized, so that people become so dependent on it that they can no longer think for themselves, much less create anything original on their own.

It can also be (mis)used to manipulate things such as news reports, historical events, evidence or non-evidence, etc., to the point that no one will be sure what's real and what isn't real anymore.

In most cases we are the last generation to play outside, write with a quill and ink pen, write cursive and do math all the way up to differential equations without the use of any computers.

I watched a short video today that parallels exactly what you are saying about the weaponization of AI being to dumb us down.

I've heard about several of these technologies. Maybe someone is packaging the technologies together?

I'd like to know which AI platform that was.

Outrageous! Ridiculous! Waste of time and money!

AI may replace teachers in the future but this isn't it.

AI school only gives 2 hours of concepts and the rest of the day is spent playing. NO HOMEWORK.

The most challenging work that I ever performed was done alone, at home reading and rereading texts. Working out by hand problems, or writing 30 page research papers.

The USA will get crushed if this becomes the norm.

We should go back to paper and pen and one on one teaching for like 10 students per class in single building house size school houses. It worked in 1826. They were more literate.

Keep the Spy27 steel and new medicine and energy but ban AI and do teaching the old way.

There is a new social media platform for AI.

I think that everyone should read the following and go visit the site.

I watched 2 hours....pshewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,I wish that I could work in this field. Probably need a PhD though.

This is a deep video. One can get lost in this video, just let it play. If you want to implement your own single processor AI system at home you may want to start by watching this video right here, they discuss it.

Could an advanced AI system that has access to full databanks on knife designs and control over molecular deposition 3d Printers that can bond atoms and molecules together into materials, and form those materials into finished parts, produce custom desired knives for humans?

I am glad that you are in this thread!

I saw that and commented on it on the 31st a few posts ago. It's good to keep the thread alive.

The emergence of AI and rapid adoption by large businesses and R&D is interesting isn't it? It's a good subject to watch. This is the beginning of something huge.

I think so. Why not?

At some point they have to decide to include all current textbooks, teaching material, lectures and completed homework assignments to get the biggest bang for the buck out of AI. We are going to find out very soon that the more we put into the system the better AI systems can respond to us.
