genAI is cars

genAI is cars, this is a thought I had for quite some times and the similarity are numerous

Both are applications of technologies, machine learning/computing for one, engine for the other.

Both promised that they will change the world, and makes all of us free trhough unchained individualism "You can go wherever you want, name it ans you will be there" – "you can code anything you want, name it and you will have it". And this is a lie, as cars and ai requires fuel and tokens to work which will get expensive.

Both are promotted by people that are, to say the least, shady, george ford, notorious antisemite and elon musk in the present times for instance.

Both, to work better, needs infrastructure that will destroy landscapes and be a net negative to people living near them, as well as a negative impact on the biosphere.

Both, as side effects of this individualism, will destroy shared places of community. The city centers of american cities were ripped apart to make place for freeways, while nowadays, AI steals from forums and will reduce the need to interact with other communities. I especially think of stackoverflow which had a big drop in use in the recent years.

This destruction of communities will be deficient for humanity. People will connect less, and less experiences will be made. Less weird bugs will be solved trough community for exemple. All the while both promises to make humanity come closer together.

Both will have application in the military domain and help humans in killing humans.

Both will help criminals in their crimes, (bank robbing – hacking)

And both will have positive side effects, the developpement of cars is linked to the mechanization of agriculture, and some new innovative ways of machining parts.

Machine learning is used in physics to increase the speed of simulation, smoothing algorithm, green screen algorithm will be based on the innovatoin behind ai but will not be as desastrious as ai.

And there will be some small comunities that will organize that will not need ai/cars, and I beleive in 50 years or so, people will take a look back and say that this unleashed developement of ai was a mistake.

What do you think?
