The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And sometimes I'll talk about

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

Talk about it like there's a pandemic of uncertainty that's spreading, which we know triggers stress and anxiety in people.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So simply not knowing the future is something that freaks out all humans or primates, all animals, really.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

Yeah.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And I think, yeah, one of the things that you hear a lot is people compare, like talk about AI as a tech revolution.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

They compare it to the internet, to the printing press or whatever other technical revolutions.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

But I think that's not, that's a mistake.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So it's not really, yes, it's a technology, but the impact it's going to have is about intelligence.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So I think it's better to think about it as a intelligence revolution.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And that's something that humanity has never had before.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

We've never had this sort of intelligence that can scale up, that we can all have in our pockets.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

Yes, we've had the internet and things, but this is really different.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

This is something that can do work, make decisions, and we don't know how good it's going to get, how far it's going to go.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So I don't think any of the other revolutions we've been through are a good guide for this.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

It's completely different.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And therefore, I think, yeah, it is going to change every sort of level of society.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

It's going to change our lives, what we do at home, what we do at work, everything in between.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And that amount of change needs to be the sort of the center, the focus of discussions around this.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

Not the tech, not the companies, not the...

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

any other stuff.
