We Power Ai - Always have. But Maybe Not Forever

by Greg Walters

​AI is like Google Maps: The user is the product

Humans power the matrix or Soylent Green is People.

​Google Maps doesn’t work for me; it works for Taco Bell and other chains that pay them.

THIS is supports why I've been saying and evangelizing, Ai Anarchy, Now - right now, all the platforms we use do not work for us, the applications churn our data over to the big advertisers - the platforms work for them, and we are the product.

When I see and hear "Ai needs to be regulated." or "Ethical Ai with guardrails" I immediately remember the days of an open internet and the time a map would show ALL points of interest for me to sift through - not pre-chewed, bought and paid for chain advertisements.

​Google Maps doesn’t work for me; it works for Taco Bell and other chains that pay them.

This is why we see so much money going into Ai - the ones who create the Matrix manage the matrix - powered but 'copper-tops'.

Humans.

This writer gets it.
​

• No regulations unless they ensure AI's full potential is unleashed.
• No legislation unless it keeps AI neutral and unbiased.
• No ethics except those broadly defined in theory but shaped by my own principles in practice.

The big issue is, will Ai serve us, or will we serve the Ai - it has always come down to this, simple, clear and desperate question.👑 Incrementally, we have bent the knee, trading our essence for free maps, free email, and free digital storage, in a zero sum game. The googleVerse won that battle; many more to come.

In the end, it will be The End.

​Childhood's End.
