AI Cannot Be Trusted & Should Be Avoided

• Take AI lightly. The Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect is a cognitive bias describing the tendency of individuals to critically assess media reports in a domain they are knowledgeable about, yet continue to trust reporting in other areas, despite the predictability of similar inaccuracies in those.
• AI is neither artificial nor intelligent. It averages over human output, so remember when you use it: the average of human thought can be deeply foolish.
• Instead of calling it artificial intelligence, we should call it real automation.
• As a technology, AI is not special and it is not going to bring forth the productivity enhancements people claim it will.
• But it has the potential to cause human critical thinking to deteriorate further. Avoid it.
