The AI idiocracy: Is AI becoming an over-relied on external source of intelligence? Won’t this make the human race lazier and dumber, creating the idiocracy?
Let’s look into this.
AI ChatGPT
AI ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman’s somewhat audacious idea that intelligence should be metered: a controlled and monetized commodity like electricity, has sent a red-flag warning to many.

-That’s the same mentality as former Nestlé CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe who sparked off much controversy and criticism when he said “water should be monetized…”
Since the emergence of AI ChatGPT in 2020, its heavy promotion spearheaded by technologists having self-interests, it gives the impression that it cannot be ignored; you will lose out if you “get left behind…”
AI flaws
However, now that we’ve had a good few years to evaluate AI, there have been claims that it has a number of flaws.
*AI can give horribly wrong answers. AI’s dimness has been frequently commented on. It also lies to you. It wants you to believe that these lies are truth.
*An AI system has been used on facial recognition. Certain individuals with genetic face disfigurement have been scanned by AI for facial recognition, such that needed to authenticate driver’s licenses for photo ID. Because of their facial disfigurement AI says the person “doesn’t exist!”
-Can you imagine the possible embarrassment, hurt and inconvenience this causes to the people affected. To make matters worse, those idiots in authority seeing this had happened did nothing to correct the obvious AI mistake.
*I don’t exactly see people saying how brilliant these tech people generating AI are, as we feel so dumb in comparison. I don’t see people saying, how these tech geniuses have solved, or are solving, humanity’s most pressing problems…
*AI has sued a number of musicians and won.
There was a case where folk musician Murphy Campbell had her voice cloned by AI. The AI system cloned Murphy’s voice and songs, then, after uploading this stolen version onto a streaming channel without her knowledge or consent, AI went on to sue Murphy for infringement of copyright on her original version!
-How would you like to lose money on a faked version of yourself?!
*Studies have shown that those having lower AI literacy are more likely to be more receptive to AI’s responses, even when it’s wrong. Does that mean that the dumber are becoming dumber?
