A.I. - The Ultimate Genie in a Bottle

Is A.I. the proverbial "genie in a bottle"? Seems so. After all, how can a billion people be wrong?
Well, when a billion people make the same exact turn at the exact same moment, the contrarian in me wants to know why.
No one was coerced into this. We did it of our own free will. We saw something special…something extraordinary…something never been seen before…something the developers might not even have had in mind.
Right now it’s being sold as a convenience, like cashless money or a quick drain valve.
So let’s use it if it helps. But for things like factual research? I can’t help but wonder about the usefulness of a search engine that returns only one answer.
The real benefit of A.I. is going to be something no one saw coming. The rule of all new technology is that unforeseen consequences eventually become the most important part of the story.
The moral of THIS story is that if you make videos or write emails for “marketing”, it is more than likely that your work is about to become more visible and appreciated than it ever was before.
If I were you, I’d get busy. 🙂

Thanks for this entertaining and thought provoking video Steve. Like all life changing tech, it will be seamlessly absorbed into our daily lives, but people will always want the human touch when it comes to the big decisions.

Right! And I imagine the human touch helps one get into a position to make a decision.

I say you have this backwards. Those with a soul are the genie to AI.
