An extract from a few comments I made to an intriguing post about AI machines…
My belief is that our mechanical/electronic creations cannot “understand” and they will never “understand” us in a similar way we will never understand our creator but we always have the choice to understand ourselves and those fellow humans around us. And this in fact is the only way to realize, to understand what tools we have built and how they can be used for the benefit of humankind.
If anyone blindly follows orders and executes tasks as a robot then I am afraid s(he) imitates machines and sooner or later s(he) will be replaced by machines or from humans that have been assimilated into a machine-like mindset and behavior.
Notice here that AI helped me to find the right word (assimilated) when I asked it to paraphrase the sentence
”people that they think and act like machines”. Nevertheless it does not “understand” a thing about it !!!
