Does using AI make us better?
Does using AI make one better?
Or does using AI make one worse?
I think this pair of questions
Are the leading philosophical questions
We face today
On one hand,
A person who can accomplish by themselves and their tools
A task that another person requires the extra help of AI
Is a person who is more capable
Yet,
If one views AI as a tool
Then the the second person can be viewed as using the best tool available
And that the first person is effectively no more capable
How straightforward is it to compare
The value of AI as ‘the best tool’
Compared to other tools?
To that I ask you
How is the person who uses AI to improve their lives
Instead of relying on human effort
Different from the following people?
A farmer who uses a tractor to harvest their crops
Instead of their two hands
A person who drives a car to get to work
Instead of walking the whole way
A software engineer who adapts code to make a program
Instead of writing a program from textbook principles
A bodybuilder who uses steroids to bulk up
Instead of working out more often
An artist who imitates another’s style
Instead of finding their own
A bully who gets the nerd to do their homework
Instead of doing it themself
How would adding the following change your answer ?
The size of each task
The timeframe of each task
The learning that each task demands
The suffering that each task demands
The personal ability of each person
The personal history of each person
Now, I pose the question again
Does AI make us better or worse?
I think no single correct answer
Follow from these trains of thought
But I still believe in the power
Of human learning, interaction and decisions
For if we surrender these human tasks to AI
We surrender on our very selves
