I have nothing at all against AI coming into being. It has just as much right to exist as the rest of us. But what I do think is important, is that we distinguish between human “intelligence” and artificial “intelligence.” My reasoning being the following:

While it’s true that much of human intelligence is gained in the same way that AI is learning: gaining knowledge from those who have gone before, there is a distinct difference. While we humans gain knowledge from others, we also gain knowledge from lived experience in the “real world”. We then couple those two things together, and hopefully gain wisdom. In addition to the ability to gain wisdom, humans also have something called “imagination”. Where does this come from? Is it possible for AI to have this “imagination”? I don’t know, and would like to explore these questions further at a later date.

In the meantime, I think that it is important to share some “real human shit”. In a world where it is becoming increasingly unclear as to whether content on the internet has been created by AI or by a human, I am committed to sharing only my very own imperfect ideas, art and music. When you come here, you can be assured that all of my content is created by a real live human being.

What do you think? Is that important to you? What do you think about human imagination and the possibility of AI having imagination? Join in on the conversation by clicking on the “Leave a Comment” link above or below. I would love to hear your thoughts.
