The question I have is why AI technology is being so aggressively advertised nowadays, and why none of it seems to be liberating in any way.
Once the plow liberated humans from some kinds of work. Some time later it was just a tool that slaves, very non liberated, used to tend to rich people's farms.
Technology is tricky. I don't trust who is developing AI to be liberating.
The article also plays on the "favorite author" thing. It knows many young folk see Asimov as a role model, so it is leveraging that emotional connection to gather conversation around a topic that is not what it seems to be. I consider it a dirty trick. It is disgraceful given the current world situation (AI being used for war, surveillance, brainwashing).
We are better than this.
