Greetings fellow dinosaurs! Did you know that we are living in the prehistoric age of technology and artificial intelligence? That kids born today “will never be smarter than AI,” according to Sam Altman, CEO and cofounder of OpenAI? When I first saw this headline repeated ad nauseam on social media, I couldn’t stop rolling my eyes. Surely, we aren’t heading toward human depiction in Pixar’s brilliant film, WALL·E, right? In a recent article on Fortune, Altman’s comments as mentioned earlier were quoted, but I was more intrigued with this: “[Altman] also thinks his kids will be fully aware of that fact, and not mind it at all. ‘They will grow up vastly more capable than we grew up and able to do things that we just, we cannot imagine. And they’ll be really good at using AI,’ he added.” Who knows what the future holds, but I know that I’m more brontosaurus than tech bro, so I’m going to hang out by the pond, eat some leaves, and realize that there’s more to life today than AI.
