AI would much less allure
If the term existed only in its expanded form.
And even so, one may easily miss where
Artificial ends and Intelligence begins.
“AI was fed on the knowledge humans discovered, tethered to the limitations and assumptions of current affairs.”
— Hussein Nasser
The outputs of AI are concoctions based on imperfect inputs.
Because output follows input,
Garbage input will naturally lead to garbage output.
Not garbage in that it cannot be useful,
But in that it falls short of the pinnacle of possibility.
Your input is dictated by your thoughts and behavior,
Which is colored by your perceptions and questions.
Yet, time and time again,
One finds that the grand answer stems from
Perceptions never imagined,
Questions never asked,
And places never visited.
Art is an exploration
Into the depths of the unknown.
It can be said
That to obtain better answers
Is to ask better questions.
However, questioning AI with a particular sharpness
Is to assume it possesses an equal amount of sharpness
To answer what no one has ever raised.
To have the proverbial “AI-enabled” workflow.
To have AI at your disposal for purely mechanical, repetitive, or personally insignificant tasks, may be of good benefit.
But to relegate the examination of your
Vision, Reasoning, and Art Form
To an external agency
Is to invite the imperceptible breakdown of your potential.
Those who see, are served by it.
Those who dont, are dissolved by it.
