Do we have specific institutions set up to cope with this specific arm of fear and a specific type or new form of psychology to manage AI anxiety, particularly now that it's the dominant world technology?
No, we don't.
And I think humanity will increasingly start paying the price for this, a psychological price.
Finally, we have to talk about its impact on creativity.
AI isn't doing great things for our critical thinking skills.
Overall, it's not doing great things, but our over-reliance on it to make art or generate creative ideas is explicitly harming our ability to have novel, unique, creative thoughts.
One randomized study from the University of Toronto that looked at over 1,100 participants, I think, showed that the use of these large language models and generative AI systems reduces the human ability to think creatively, resulting in basically more homogenous vanilla ideas and fewer truly innovative ones.
Art becomes boring.
Essays become boring.
Stories become all the same.
And whilst these tools, and they did find this, they can increase and enhance short-term performance, they reduce your ability to think independently over time.
So how I see this is like people who use steroids for sport or like performance-enhancing drugs, right?
It might make you better for a few days, might make you better for a few months.
It is always going to have costs later on.
It's always going to create over-reliance.
I saw this comment from somebody that said, creativity is a skill.
It's not an innate talent.
And that talent is not developed to the same degree when you rely on AI.
And I completely agree because
Being creative, thinking outside the box, generating ideas is difficult.
