I think about AI in the same way I’d think about the ocean if I lived in Tuvalu. Every morning, as I log on to the digital landscape that defines my working world, it’s like stepping out of my home and noticing a few more parts of the environment have been damaged by the salt from rising seas.
Yes, AI has positive uses. So does salt. That doesn’t mean it isn’t weathering everything it touches. It’s hardly a stretched metaphor to describe the world as drowning in a rising sea of AI, or at least in the mania attending it.
