What’s That?

 

You certainly would not want to hear that on the operating table. Go back to the textbook or Google it?

We presume that someone who is licensed as a doctor or a lawyer or an Indian chief would have studied stuff to know their business that you pay for their expertise.

If one pronounces their intellect by avid reading or getting accolades or titles, it may be questionable? For as smart as you may proclaim, there is something new and different that changes what is acknowledged today.

Today, we rely on AI (artificial intelligence) to answer our questions without digging into the resources or fact checking.

We didn’t question our teachers for spouting textbooks written decades ago for the teacher was assumed to know the lesson plan. We didn’t question the doctor diagnosis for they had all the degrees on the wall, sharp tools and access to pills and potions. We didn’t question the lawyer for they had the reference material to make a simple process complicated and expensive. We didn’t question the police officer for they had the badge and carried a gun. We didn’t question the mechanic for they had a shop with fluids and tools to care for your expensive transportation. We didn’t question the preacher for they had The Book.

Artificial (made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural) Intelligence (the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills) is now seeking information from you and we are more than willing to answer all the questions of our own bias and opinions. AI is only as smart as it’s data.

 There is lots of information out there that we don’t know. We have only scratched the surface. Some have defined a specialty and focused in on details few will understand.

So as we shoot balloons out of the sky while our politicians’ feud over everything and our entertainment is violence, check your phone and see what spam you got between the body counts.

We don’t know chit.
