WALL-E

I think the scariest thing about AI

That I don’t really hear people mention

Is the impact it’ll have on critical thinking

AI makes things easier – which is good

When those who know how to think

Can’t keep up with the flow of info

As in when a smart person knows

How to solve a certain equation

But has to solve that equation

100s or 1000s of times – sure

Let some mindless box that

We tricked into thinking

Solve the menial in between

It’s like a car – it gets us there faster

Though, this is where my fear comes in

Since if we give wheels to our children

Before we ever teach them how to walk

Eventually we’ll form a society of people

Who won’t be able to stand on their own
