AI as monster

:

There is a huge problem that we can be captured by a story leaving the facts away. The use of metaphors in tech products are very damaging.

There is a lot of critique about the fact we insist of thinking of ai as an equal human. It has intelligence, ' will it have consciousness' , etc. People still think of cloud as a immaterial thing instead of cables, computers and servers.

Instead of fighting these elements, my idea is to go with the flow but taking my own point of view to it. No the least because if I follow the giving living characteristics to the algorithms and language models, I think of it as a insatiable monster. like the monsters in so many mythologies.


The ' AI story' that I want to tell is of a monster that makes ppl fear for their jobs, and all the other critiques and insecurities it brings but the most is the message that it is so power hungry that it s enormous use can make climate change even more dangerous.
