Thinking about AI again.

Yesterday, the AI-powered bird-ID thing my mom gave me detected what it identified as a scarlet ibis.

Now I have a couple options. I can say, hey, this AI has seen a lot more birds than I have, so if it says one of the two national birds of Trinidad and Tobago stopped to eat in my backyard, so be it. Or I can look at the photo and say, well that there’s a cardinal.

You have to already know stuff to know the AI is wrong. But no one is going to treat it that way.

Everybody thinks about poor Prometheus stuck to the mountain but no one spares a thought for the eagle who is also trapped in this relationship and is probably thinking “ugh, liver? Again?!”

Do you remember that experiment you did in high school physics, where you built a bridge out of toothpicks or whatever and then tested its strength by slowly adding more weight until it snapped?

That’s what we’re doing with American democracy.
