[Tech Thoughts] As AI develops, we’ll need the humanities even more

People who do not value other people and the society they live in will not realize the humanities exist to point out the world has unjust social structures in need of dismantling or adjustment

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

Instead of speaking out in anger though, and seeing as many people are already annoyed in the comments section of that post, it seemed more productive to discuss the post to see where the discussion falls short, and where an understanding of the humanities would be helpful.Let’s start first by getting everyone on the same page regarding the humanities.

If the sciences helped to develop something like artificial intelligence, the humanities might ask, “How can that knowledge help us or hurt us as people? What does having this in our lives actually do?” The author added, “The ‘critical thinking’ and ‘communication skills’ you’re told are so valuable are being automated into irrelevance. A company isn’t gonna pay you a high salary to have deep thoughts about Foucault when they can get better output from an algorithm.”First off, AI may be fast, but as a common assertion I’ve made on various Tech Thoughts pieces would indicate, I have to stress that AI at its current level is just an idiot, regurgitating words, hoping they pass for common sense.

Creating ubiquitous AI search functions and putting generative AI in a widely used application like Google Search, for example, “is likely to deepen the tech sector’s hunger for fossil fuels and water,”is being made more efficient over time, it’s still going to eat up finite resources that could be better served by just doing a normal search and the requisite studying and work to learn stuff.
